Welcome one, welcome all. This is a typical userpage. Yet, it is my userpage, and that home-y feeling is really all that matters. On-wiki, I'm usually called Barnt for shorthand, and my real name is Danielle, styled Danny. I respond to she/her, or he/him, and even they/them. Pronouns aren't a main concern of mine; building an encyclopedia is my priority. Just make sure to keep your choice consistent per situation, for clarity's sake. I try to pare my sick sense of humor and sarcasm down to acceptable levels that are prudent and non-invasively funny to everyone who otherwise helps to build Wikipedia.

Ideals I subscribe to:

edit
  • Wikipedia:Assume no cluebefore you assume that someone is being malicious, assume that their actions are the product of being uninformed or unaware.
  • Wikipedia:Imagine others complexlyWiki editors are human beings, so the complex state that humans are in is going to be inherently present in the uh, humans, who populate Wikipedia. And as such, that complex state is reflected in the business that is conducted on this site. (Unless it's a bot that's downsizing a newly-uploaded non-free image or performing some other menial task).
  • Wikipedia: No episcopal threats whatever you do, do not get the bishops involved on Wikipedia when something does one of the following: goes wrong/turns out of your favour/becomes a sensitive situation/etc.


Is this important?

edit

Before you read on, I'd like you to look at this, which tells a lot about why I edit Wikipedia.

"[Wikipedia] is not only subject to influence from the outside world, but can also affect the world it documents."[1]


Joseph Michael Reagle and Lawrence Lessig had much to say. It seems so simple, but the things I write appear in front of millions and millions of people. The things you write, too, may be anywhere from less to remarkably more seen by just about anyone. I want people to know about the things I write, to be informed about things I feel they should know. That's an awesome power, and it is lunacy that they give it to everyone. Literally anyone. I'm biased in subject, I admit. But in subject matter, I try to stay as true and convincingly judicious as possible.

I love the idea of citing filmography/performances/screen and stage pages for actors. It's such an easy claim-to-fame for getting lists to featured list status. Therein, one can display about their doing of lots of tedious work.

Oh my, it's getting rather drafty in here, isn't it?
