Hey there! I'm known around here as TechnoSquirrel69. I'm a musician of various kinds, a rock climber, an amateur hiker, and a terminal epistemophile. I may also edit Wikipedia on occasion. The following page is an entirely unbiased and not-at-all-self-indulgent summary of my contributions to this project.
I created this account in January 2021 and wrote a couple small articles, but only became an active editor in March 2023. I have to thank a random teenager sitting in the row in front of me at a presentation I was at a few months prior, who unknowingly became the impetus for my return to editing by completely ignoring the speaker and furiously browsing through articles on their laptop instead. Since then, I've maintained an ever-evolving balance betweeen writing the encyclopedia and performing behind-the-scenes "gnome work".
Reviews needed!
My contributions
To the encyclopedia
I consider some of my best work to be the writing I've done on Studio Ghibli–related articles, most notably Castle in the Sky and
List of accolades received by The Boy and the Heron. I've been passionate about this topic since the beginning of my editing journey and will likely continue to write about it until I retire or I achieve my ultimate goal of promoting every major article covered by the task force to good article or featured status. I've also worked on several articles about music (but mostly about Porter Robinson), including
Nurture (album) and my collaborations with Skyshifter on the
Worlds topic.
I try to mirror my writing work with reviews of other editors' content. I also provide comments at the peer review process, and have reviewed 17 nominations to date. See my logs for featured content candidates, good article nominees, Did you know? nominations, and peer reviews.
To the "back end"
I put on a diverse collection of hats when working behind the scenes. These days, I like to work on reviewing at Articles for creation and, relatedly, participating at new pages patrol. I also enjoy a round of closing threads at redirects for discussion on occasion when the backlogs get backlogged. I have previously worked on counter-vandalism, fixing links to disambiguation pages, and resolving edit requests.
I am currently serving as a coordinator for the 2024 Developing Countries WikiContest.[b]
