I am siliconred. My real name is Nathan Drezner. I understand there is some danger to associating my real identity with my wiki identity, so I do ask folks to respect my personal privacy — but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page 😊. Thanks!

You can see my statistics for my work in AfC here.

I manage a Twitter bot that posts the Picture of the Day, and I've written an open-source tool for Python to download edit histories from Wikipedia articles. Go check them out!

Using Wikipedia for non-Wikipedia things
The formatting, manual of style, and citation templating from Wikipedia can be very useful to craft non-Wikipedia works. I've written a couple of essays using Wikipedia (not for use on Wikipedia) taking advantage of these handy capabilities. In some ways, I regret not submitting more of my academic papers using Wikipedia markup as my editor of choice. markup nerds can eat it! Wikipedia markup is better, for one major reason: It's web native (it also lacks the nightmarish compilation process of ).
