About me
I am Emily, A.K.A. ShadowNowAlas.

I have made tiny edits for years while reading Wikipedia pages on those subjects with which I have some familiarity. In a former life, I edited in various environments, but frankly fell into those roles. It is something I neither consider nor list as part of my skill set. I saw mistakes; I fixed them. This is likely to be the sort of thing I engage in here. It is rather unlikely I will take on creation of new articles.

User Name
My user name was adopted in July of 2009. For the curious, I took my user name from the following:

'I am a shadow now, alas! alas! Upon the skirts of human-nature dwelling Alone: I chant the holy mass, While little sounds of life are round me knelling, And glossy bees at noon do fieldward pass, And many a chapel bell the hour is telling, Paining me through: those sounds grow strange to me, And thou art distant in Humanity. —John Keats. "Isabella; or, The Pot of Basil". (1818). XXXIX.
