 * Grammar is serious business... but that doesn't mean we grammar nazis are necessarily humorless or annoying.

grammar nazi (plural grammar nazis) grammar fascist (plural there can be only one)
 * 1) (slang, idiomatic) A person who habitually corrects or criticizes the language usage of others.
 * 1) (slang, idiomatic) A person who habitually corrects the language usage of others but is definitely opposed to all aspects of Nazi ideology and to fascism in general. The grammar fascist has a grammar nazi in their brain they can't turn off, so if one of the grammar fascist's corrections irritates you, consider how much more annoying it is for them to have corrections blared at them unignorably all day, every day.

How I interact with Wikipedia
Many articles I just tidy up grammar on. Other articles — those in need — I will find sources for, resolve NPOV or copyright issues with, or expand from stub status. I enjoy working with brand-new editors struggling with proper sourcing, citation formatting, and encyclopedic tone in their proposed articles. This user also prefers to be referred to using singular they — i.e., say they/them/their rather than she/her/her or he/him/his. If that sounds silly to you, you are encouraged to read about Intersex. Invented gender-neutral pronouns such as ze/hir/ze's are also acceptable.

I've been around Wikipedia for a while now, but I don't know everything... and I'm not afraid to admit that.

I don't always work logged in. IP users are people, too. Wikipedia has some longstanding editors who use a static IP address rather than a Wikipedia account yet make many valuable contributions to Wikipedia, such as 71.41.210.146 and 75.108.94.227 (neither of whom are me — I don't have easy access to a static IP address).

Handy link to my logged-in contributions, since some people apparently have a hard time finding that page on their own.
