User:BrownHairedGirl

Greetings! Welcome to my user page. My main job on Encyc is welcoming new users, fixing grammar, improving spelling mistakes, adding refs, deal with vandalism and spam and revert inappropriate edits from disruptive users, fixing dead links and sort out articles by keeping them neat and tidy. I am the most friendliest user on Encyc. If you ever want to drop me a note, please do!

About me

Some user pages on Miraheze tell their life story or reveal all sorts of interesting details about themselves, whilst others define their interests and values. I want to do neither, because I do not want to tempt the reader to stereotype me — so a few boxes to the right is all you get.

However, if you read on down, you'll find more about my work on Miraheze.

Miraheze likes and dislikes

I like:

• gender-neutral language

I dislike

• missing edit summaries; they only take a second or two, but make life a lot easier for everyone else. (see link to my own edit summary usage).
• when people think they "own" a stub article.

I am usually a reasonably placid and easy-going sorta person, but I believe that when people repeatedly breach any of the foregoing principles, they should be cruelly punished.

It has been suggested that being forced to listen to Barry Manilow would be an appropriate form of retribution, but I am inclined to think that this is too cruel and extreme. Maybe something milder would do, such as being boiled in oil. (Supportively and non-violently, of course, with plenty of WikiLove, and tongue very firmly in cheek).
