User:Minoa

Hello, my name is Minoa: on 2 March 2019, I adopted this username, because I use the name of my NationStates nation more often than the old username. I would like to thank Base for bringing the new and more relevant username into reality.

However, I chose not to abandon my old account to avoid potential complications with multiple accounts, given that Wikipedia policy says that editors are generally expected to have only one account.

Since I am fighting severe depression and doomscrolling, my editing schedule remains irregular.

Recent developments
I came out of full retirement in September 2018, to address a number of annoying issues with the detail in some articles. The main fixes included:


 * Resolving outdated colours of the Grand Paris Express lines, and resolve the annoyingly off-centred text in the icon for Paris Métro Line 15;
 * Clarifying that the Czech blue tit was alive and well, at the time when the age record was set;
 * Revising or removing outdated Athens Metro extensions;
 * Corrected the font for the New York City Subway bullets, and created a complete set in the process;
 * Removed the Athens Suburban Railway line numbers that were added without reliable sources, only for Hellenic Train to come up with one.

In addition, a major new article project for the first time in a while:


 * Conversations about Important Things: how does a country have the guts to almost tell children as young as nine that their life is worth less than their country, and that it is not scary to die for their country?

Documentation

 * Public transport in Athens

MediaWiki technical skills
I am experienced in the deployment and operation of MediaWiki projects, such as NSindex (currently paused). That does not mean that I am a total expert, since I ask for advice on enabling or disabling certain MediaWiki features from time to time.
