On Wikipedia:
Hello, thanks for popping by! A little about me: I enjoy writing new articles, and editing short articles and biographies. I also like to correct grammar, links and categorization here and there.

Update as of 2023:

At this time, I’m still able to contribute a small amount monthly on annual commitment to the financial wellbeing of Wikipedia.

Also, my editing has dramatically slowed over the past number of years due to an unfortunate head injury. I’m recovering wonderfully. The pieces put back are slightly frayed but mostly are in the right places. Folks who are interested can follow along at my Substack newsletter site.

In the meantime, I mainly come to Wikipedia to look up information, and occasionally when I have a bit of time, like today, correct information when visiting.

The following information is for my own reference, but it’s helpful to others seeking small jobs of editing and cleaning up:

Useful links for finding things to do:
 * How to find repetitive words in Wikipedia articles that need fixing
 * Links to work required on biographies

Some useful references:
 * Contents of the Manual of Style
 * Language template for adding inline transliterations
 * Manual of Style for editing biographies
 * How to write better articles
 * Rules on how to use citations
 * Ask questions at the Teahouse
 * What to do when citations are needed

Articles I might be interested in tackling:
 * Cape as in Jonathan Cape, and links to various books and authors that are not linked. Seems like a nice challenge.
 * Michael Banton's books need ISBN and citations

Personal statement: As a descendent of settlers and colonizers (2-5gen UK/I) of the land on which I live, I respectfully acknowledge my home is located on a rocky knoll known to and cared for by the ancestors of the Musqueam peoples, and shared by many nations by sea and inland. I stand with Indigenous across all colonized territories, these lands were stolen from the Indigenous upon colonization, whether there was agreement on a piece of paper or a trade or a handshake. And, I stand in solidarity with all Indigenous in pursuit of their sovereignty on their terms. I am constantly aware and learning to disrupt my own perpetuation of power over and all superiority colonization values. And, I am committed to amplify the voices of Indigenous women, girls, and gender diverse people. HiTrish (talk) 17:01, 3 March 2023 (UTC)
