Kiki is a hippo female human attending Scripps College, majoring in psychology, spending a lot of time in IRC, and addicted to Wikipedia. She believes that while Wikipedia is a wonderful source, it can often become a vortex and therefore waste hundreds and hundreds of hours in your life.

Kiki primarily focuses on Articles for Creation reviewing, new page patrol, assessing articles for WikiProject Songs, vandalism fighting, and other gnomish tasks. She receives lots of talk page messages and appreciates everyone's patience in waiting for her to get through all of them, as well as the hard work of talk page stalkers and wikifriends such as, , and others. On the English Wikipedia, she is a rollbacker and reviewer. She does not primarily speak about herself in the third person. You can find her quickly here on IRC if you'd like.



About Me
I first started editing Wikipedia when I was a teenager in high school. Contrary to popular suggestion, my first edits were actually vandal-fighting edits and New Page patrol, though I also, for a while, took a stab at joining the Guild of Copy Editors.

In real life, I recently graduated from a high school in Southern California and now attend Scripps College nearby with plans to major in Psychology and Asian American Studies. I identify as a feminist, which means I support gender equality, though I recognize that some people will take that word to mean something else... but feminism, to me, is gender equality. Scripps is the best place, to be surrounded by a community of women (Category:Female Wikipedians is so small compared to Category:Male Wikipedians. It's sad really. How can we get more women to help out?) Everyone is really nice and friendly and I try to live by that philosophy online as well.

FAQ

 * Why did you decline my article?
 * Please, do us all a favor and read the decline reason before coming here. When you come to my talk page, please link to your draft. We'll all be happy.


 * Why did you tag my page for speedy deletion? Why did you delete my page?
 * I didn't delete it. Contact the deleting administrator. Either your article was dumb, or, if you think I tagged wrongly, feel free to contest the deletion. Do not remove the template; it can only be removed by an admin declining the CSD nom or by another editor that isn't you. Continuing to remove it can get you blocked.


 * When you were using AWB/STiki/doing new page patrol/disambiguating/etc., you did it wrong/it was a false positive/I was still working on it.
 * I'm sorry I messed up! I try to assume good faith, but I'm human, too, even though I use these semi-automated tools to help me. Be bold and revert it, provided that it is within WP policy, explaining your revert in the edit summary. If I still disagree, I'll bring it up on the relevant talk page.
