Geography, Maps, Cartography, and Constructed Worlds
Any type of map, real or fictional, as long as it is not too complicated; especially useful for the above specialist major; I memorize places very well, real (especially the Greater Toronto Area at street level (hence my participation in Golden Horseshoe Roads Wikiproject shown with an appropriate userbox in the WikiProjects section) and beyond) or fictional; I also enjoy building worlds

I use and am interested in the Toronto Transit Commission

I use and am interested in the Toronto rapid transit system, operated by the above transit provider

Linguistics
Studied linguistics with Marcel Danesi in introductory anthropology in First Year Undergraduate at above university; I also enjoy learning and creating constructed languages

My English is professional, since I grew up in an English-speaking environment. My French is at high school level, since I learnt French from Grade 4 to Grade 11 at the core levels. My Latin is proficient enough for reading and writing, given that I am dependent on Wheelock's Latin, which I used to teach myself the language and have John C. Traupman's revised and updated Latin-English dictionary for vocabulary enrichment. I also read the Latin Wikipedia and am planning to be a user.

Interests in Science
Studied calculus in First Year Undergraduate at above university; I know single variable differential calculus and integral calculus well; I am also good with statistics and discrete mathematics

Studied astronomy in First Year Undergraduate at above university; I am an expert on the components and history of the solar system and certain nearby extra-solar planetary systems; "Life must be out there"

Made 67,000 total live edits on 01:04, 4 May 2024 (UTC) on this page! Made 68,000 grand total edits on 00:38, 12 June 2024 (UTC) on this page!

Made 32,000 mainspace edits on 13:23, 15 January 2019 (UTC), on this edit to Toronto Raptors. Made 2000 edits on article talk pages on 12:27, 9 February 2017 (UTC) on this edit to Talk:Toronto subway public art. Made 2500 Wikipedia project edits on 23 September 2016 (UTC) on this edit to Requests for page protection (requested semi-protection for Toronto Blue Jays (the article was later semi-protected indefinitely for frequent vandalism from both Toronto Blue Jays fans and fans of opposing teams)). Specific namespace edit milestones have been greatly exceeded since then.

Note that the above counter has been outdated since September 2013 as seen in the userbox and is no longer active (the counter is kept purely for historical purposes for those who are curious (my rank in that metric has since improved immensely)).

Made 1000 edits on the then-featured article Toronto Raptors on 02:26, 22 May 2018 (UTC), with this edit. The article was heavily vandalized during that time, as the Toronto Raptors were facing the Cleveland Cavaliers led by LeBron James in the 2018 NBA Playoffs (the Raptors article since then has been semi-protected indefinitely, including during the Raptors' championship season of 2018–19, including the playoffs, its victorious NBA Finals, and winning the Larry O'Brien Championship Trophy for the first time in Raptors history, which would have attracted very high amounts of vandalism (from both Raptors fans and fans of opposing teams (as usual), particularly fans of the Golden State Warriors as they were the Raptors' opponents in the 2019 NBA Finals) if it were not for semi-protection for obvious reasons, especially from the latter group). However, since September 2021, the Toronto Raptors article ceased to be a featured article due to having numerous subsequent major updates since first reaching FA status, the Raptors not performing as well, and being the featured article of the day at one point.

This book is no doubt a great reward for me and I enjoy reading it, especially with so many fun bonus features I never knew existed.

Holds the current record for the longest active editing streak on Wikipedia dating as early as November 2007 and applied for a Guinness World Record, though Guinness World Records officials later declined my proposed record as they deemed it "uncompetitive" as bots can hold this record as well, despite being software.

WP:Press coverage
Featured on the October 13, 2015 print edition of the Toronto Star in the article "Meet the man keeping the Jays' reputation intact on Wikipedia" (online edition was published a day earlier on October 12, 2015)!
