A cat? A human? A cat-face human? A human-face cat? Nope. Just a nerdy Wikipedian who likes to write and revise — until near-burnout level is achieved...

Short intro
A nerdy/obsessive cat Wikipedian obsessed about bringing "encyclopedic toning" and other technical stuffs to the Web, including, though not limited to, a great deal of mathematical "gibberishes" that most normal people would just give a blank stare and pass by:


 * Editing tone: professorial
 * Editing length: rather long/quite long
 * Editing subjects: technical/quasi-technical/general

By the way, if Wikipedia server hiccups scare you, don't forget to sacrifice your coffee budget to Wikipedia so that it can disrupt Google and make the world more erudite! And if you hate Wikipedia, well, a confused kitten has just lost some part of its soul!

P.S. — This user occasionally shows signs of a typical Level I Wikipediholic, and has the tendency to keep on editing until near exhaustion is achieved.

Wikipedian's "must read"

 * Simplified Manual of Style
 * ✅ "James's house"
 * ✅ En-dash: "pp. 1–2", "January 1999 – December 2000"
 * No space around em-dash
 * Use for unbreakable space
 * ❌ "I...", "We... ", "you...", "note that...", "remember that....", "of course...", "clearly", "obviously..." (presumptious language by MOS:NOTE)
 * Avoid contractions
 * Help:Introduction to the Manual of Style/All
 * Lead
 * Standalone overview of article
 * One-to-four paragraphs
 * Sections
 * One-to-four paragraphs recommended
 * Sentence case
 * Omit first "the" or "a"
 * Words
 * Avoid relative time terms (e.g., "recently")
 * For single-digit quantities, write "one", ... "nine" (not "1",... "9")
 * For approximate dates, "c. " is preferred (over "approx." or "circa".
 * Use for unbreakable space
 * Citations
 * Paraphrase preferred over quotes
 * Use existing citation style
 * Wikilink
 * First occurrence
 * Avoid unnecessary piping
 * Avoid "cryptic piping" (clickbaity)
 * Avoid linking common terms
 * Keep anchor text and target article title similar
 * External Links
 * Each link followed by a description
 * Manual of Style
 * Quotes within " " or as blockquote (not italic)
 * Start quotes with capital letter unless integrated to text
 * Precede quote with colon, comma or no punctuation (case-to-case)
 * End quote with period or question mark only if it's part of quote
 * For dashes: unspaced em-dash or spaced en-dash only
 * Do not add comma if confuse or alter meaning
 * Avoid use of "/" generally (e.g., and/or, parent/instructor)
 * No "?" or "!" (except in quote)
 * "Current" ->
 * No "we" except the author's we in scientific text (better change to passive voice in this case)
 * Avoid distractive wikilinking
 * Use external links sparingly even if relevant
 * Manual of Style/Mathematics
 * Short Introduction > § Definition > § Examples/Applications > § History > § Generalization > § See also > § References > § Bibliography/Sources > § External links/Further reading
 * Opt for "for all", "there exists", "in" and "is defined by" rather than ∀, ∃, ∈, =.
 * ❌ "It must be mentioned that...", "It must be emphasized that...", "Consider that...", "We see that..."
 * ❌ "Iff", "wrt", "wlog"
 * Avoid talking the reader directly. Conversations undermine encyclopedic tone big time.
 * Avoid starting a sentence with symbols.
 * Avoid LaTeX in headings
 * For one-line formulas, indent with ":" followed by LaTeX markup (in source-code editing).
 * For quotes, indent as proses (":" in visual editing, which has a wider indentation length than the one in source-code mode).
 * Never attempt to number the references manually (both in the reference list and in the content). Use the Cite button in the visual builder (or the  tag).
 * Sample featured pages to be modeled after: Logarithm, Pi, Euclidean algorithm, Group (mathematics), Leonhard Euler, Georg Cantor, Algebra,
 * 0.999...
 * 1 − 2 + 3 − 4 + ⋯
 * Parity of zero
 * Polar coordinate system
 * Problem of Apollonius
 * Manual of Style/Lists
 * No list if can be rephrased easily into a paragraph
 * Capitalize first letter of a list even for sentence fragments
 * Don't mix sentences with sentence fragments
 * No period if not a complete sentence
 * Manual of Style/Layout
 * Internal links only
 * Related to the topics
 * Tangentially related item should include an annotation (e.g., Everyman – made a similar achievement on April 4, 2005)
 * Sorted logically, chronologically or alphabetically
 * Should not link to
 * Non-existent pages
 * Deambiguation pages (save in deambiguations pages themselves)
 * Links already included in the article's body.
 * Double-check to see if the new item is not already linked in the body!
 * Reliable sources
 * Cite reputable, secondary sources known to have an established fact-checking mechanism.
 * ❌ Wiki, forum, social media, personal pages
 * ❌ Sponsored content (e.g., symposium, supplements to academic journals)
 * ✅ Books, journals, research paper, meta-analysis
 * ✅ Mainstream media news coverage
 * Exercise caution in citing:
 * Primary research papers
 * Self-published books
 * "Ideological" journals/websites
 * Opinionated sources
 * Avoid synthesizing information from disparate sources on your own, even if the conclusion seems reasonable.
 * Piped link
 * Try to integrate wikilink into articles without piping — if possible.
 * Good:
 * Don't use pipe links as a teaser to information that should be included in the sentence.

Other suggestions on style

 * When wikilinking, double-check to see if you're not mistakenly linking to a deambiguation page.
 * Refrain from the encyclopedic version of "finger-pointing" in general.
 * Rethink about from using "this", "that", "above", "below" as location words.
 * Instead of "see the page Cat below for more", use "for more, see Cat".
 * Instead of "in that section, we alluded to...", use "see § Cat#section." in the form of footnote (or use the slink template).
 * If possible, try to rephrase "in this discussion" or "in this article" out of the discussion. Best to wikilink to the appropriate section or use an anchor.
 * Try to rephrase "say that" out of the paragraphs—whenever possible.
 * For math formulas typeset in TeX, the additional unwanted space, if exist, might be eliminated by adding an additional  in the source code.
 * Use italic for emphasis only. Boldface is for keywords, not emphasis.
 * "Further reading" is more informative than "External links".
 * "Further reading" is more informative than "External links".
