User:The Nookster



Hello 👋

The Nookster is my nickname and I am over the moon to be a Wikipedian.

Introduction
I realised being a writer I would probably never earn enough to donate in money what I owe this amazing online community and largest and most-read reference work on the planet. Wikipedia has played a major part in forming innumerable new neural networks in my brain. I am half human half Wikipedia. And for that I am truly thankful.

I wish I could donate more money than I do. Maybe one day I will. Fingers crossed.

Until then I want to support Wikipedia and its many offshoots from the Wikimedia Foundation in its truly noble goal of making knowledge free for every human forever.

Literally yours, Nikki 🤓

Writing and Editing
The dictionary was my favourite book as a kid. It still is as an adult. Truth be told.

Wikipedia is my favourite website as an adult.

After reading so much on here, I aim to write as much as I can. By volunteering my skills and contributing my time and words as well as money to one of the zeniths of humanity.

In my editing, I’ll aim to make most sentences have a point, seek key sources in the appropriate context and sit specific information into the broader relevance of the topic. And hopefully divine the killer points required to make Wikipedia’s purpose as a reference tool the best there is by a furlong mile.

All done as best as possible in Wikipedia’s refreshingly concise and neutral style.

For the record, I am interested in everything and want to help, help, help.

Specifically: the English language, contemporary fiction, archaeology, history, comedy, art, photography, illustration, classical civilisations, Real Lancashire, the colour green, yoga, sports, The Lake District, and snow globes to name but a few…

In summary: I am a surface skimmer then suddenly I'll take a deep dive into a subject that captures my attention.

I feel honoured to be part of such an incredible knowledge gathering project. Totes over the moon!
