User:MaggieAtKryton

Welcome to my user page!

As you can likely tell from the title of the page itself, I often go by the name Maggie in a number of forms. So feel free to call me by my whole username or just Maggie.

For more Maggie-specific facts, take a look at the details below!

Personally
Like many others, I am a collection of all sorts of geekery and fun:


 * I am an avid fan of old British comedies such as Red Dwarf, Black Adder, and Chef!
 * I read books of all kinds voraciously (though, I'm partial to fantasy and sci-fi books).
 * I draw infrequently in my spare time, usually spending the rest of it enjoying video games.
 * I love watching video essayists on YouTube.
 * I watch anime and read manga.
 * I consume podcasts like no tomorrow.
 * I like to plan out my costume and entertainment for every Halloween.

In short, if there's something geeky about, I've probably heard of it.

Professionally
My overload of geekiness is very likely why I ended up as a writer for work. Initially, I started off writing blurbs about queer movies as a college intern for the charity organization Out On Screen. During that time, I also realized I had an eye (and love) for consistency in writing and other traits that made me well-suited for copy editing, proofreading, and other editorial work. It's why for a time, I became a member of and volunteer for Editors Canada. I started out as a proofreader for the British Columbia branch's blog and eventually became the publications chair for a couple of years. Meanwhile, I gained paid experience as a copywriting specialist for Yellow Pages and left to be a content writer for an online business.

That soon led me to my current workplace at Kryton International Inc.As a content marketing specialist there, I create blog posts, newsletters, e-books, and more to promote concrete waterproofing, durability, and monitoring products.

Why am I on Wikipedia?
Now that you've gotten to know me a bit, I want to get more straight to the point about my presence here. While I do look forward to joining the Guild of Copy Editors and helping out now and then, my main purpose for being here is to propose a page or so about the company I work for. It's a conflict of interest, I know. But I strongly believe my company should have at least one page considering it invented a whole new category of concrete waterproofing. Still, I recognize that not all companies deserve a page, and even if they do, they need to be vetted properly. So I aim to go through the proper channels with a draft of my own creation that should follow a neutral point of view.

With that said, even if my goal doesn't work out, I still enjoy the idea of being part of the Wikipedia community, helping to enhance the pages that are already there and in need of some editorial love.
