Hello, nice to meet you. You can call me Jen. I'm a wife and SAHM of four who writes encyclopedia articles on the Safari browser for iPhone 17 while folding laundry and waiting to pick up the kids from school, etc. One of these days I would like to become a working mom again, because money, but for the time being I'm mostly here with the goal of making new start-class to B-class quality articles on topics of low importance in my areas of interest (history, nature, books, women).

It's our folk encyclopedia we can do what we want.

PURELY SUBTRACTIVE EDITORS ARE THE BANE OF THIS COMMUNITY

But on the other hand: "You don't have a slug problem, you have a duck deficiency." —Bill Mollison et al.

Those who think that wisdom and whimsy are mutually exclusive have neither. It's vitally important to do the right thing when the consequences are dire, and to do a whole bunch of utterly frivolous silly dumb shit when it doesn't matter what you do. —homunculus-argument, Tumblr

is such hungry work

"Listen here's the thing—I don't know what you kids are up to, but I do know one thing: laws are threats made by the dominant socio-economic, ethnic group in a given nation." —Brendan Lee Mulligan

"every so often i remember how awesome the modern interconnected multicultural world is. i grew up getting to hear fairy tales from all over the world. africa, asia, europe, america. everywhere in between. i can have bagels for breakfast, curry for lunch, and ramen for dinner without even leaving the city limits. music and art and philosophy and technology that originated thousands of miles and years apart from eachother have come together and interwoven into something greater than the sum of its parts. its hard not fall into despair when thinking about the horrors but god. god the wonders." —dizzyghoast, Tumblr

"Mom and Dad are not infallible. Wikipedia does not have an article about everything."

— User:Rosiestep (2026)[2] (Yet. We do not have an article about everything yet. Much to be done! Hut-hut!)

If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.

Why can't we put everything that we have into everything that we can?

— Sydney Adamu (Ayo Edebiri), The Bear

I've had enough of silly danger!...Why are you in the ceiling?

— Station Eleven

Don't yuck someone else's yum.

When Wikipedians use abbreviations and short urls, does it serve as an exclusionary cryptolect that alienates less-experienced less-chronically-online editors? Discuss amongst yourselves.

  • COI/paid-editing declarations: Back in the day I worked at E! Online/Style and added a reference to an eonline story about the death of Michael Jackson, and created a handful of stubs like Isaac. After I retired (LOL) to having kids, as a favor to a friend, I added a bunch of citations to articles at some website she worked at but I honestly can't recall the website name and I don't care to look it up and revisit my shame, and I believe all of those were all reverted in short order. (sorry to whichever editor had to deal with that nonsense.) In 2018 I created the article mg (magazine) as a favor for a friend who had an online publicity gig and I told her I didn't want to be paid but she nonetheless sent me a $20 Starbucks gift card in thanks which I definitely used to buy coffee. I regret it all. I also did plenty of the usual "edit your alma mater" stuff at the beginning, and have contributed photos of places that I frequent in my home region, etc. If there is anything I have neglected to mention it's just because I have a Swiss-cheese brain but I will add it here when I rediscover it or am otherwise reminded of it. I think I've been clean since 2018 and I plan to remain so.
  • Meatpuppets/IP addresses/related usernames: My dad wants to contribute to wikipedia sometimes but has found the climate unwelcoming so sometimes he sends me text w cites or images and tells me where to add them and I do; such edits are summarized as such in edit summary. My FIL has written a lot of books that are cited on Wikipedia (which I know bc he told me), but I haven't ever messed with any of those pages or cites, to my knowledge. Another relative was killed in an act of terrorism but I have not engaged with the article other than reading it (or possibly typo fixes but I don't know how to check for sure). One of my kids has started making minor edits so I think we share an IP address when I'm not logged in. My husband is now on here very occasionally. Not sure if I want to link dad and husband accounts from here but just FYI.
