Hello, I'm Sarah, and I'm a34 year old editor fromLeeds,England. My username comes from theTintin bookKing Ottokar's Sceptre, a series of which I was a fan during my childhood. I'm a native speaker ofBritish English, which is regrettably the only language I can speak with any degree of understanding. I know an odd smattering ofFrench andGerman. I currently hold aMaster's degree in Mathematics.
I'm interested in all forms of media, and can appreciate most forms of them, from nearly all genres of music to most genres of literature, film, and television. As of recently, I have become increasingly involved inprogressive political activism, mostly transgender, LGB and feminist activism as a lesbian trans person. My editing tends to fall into one of two areas, and I'm particularly interested in expanding Wikipedia's poor coverage of transgender issues and helping to reduce the amount of cisgender, heterosexual and male systemic bias on the encyclopedia. However, I do understand the importance of not letting my queer politics getting in the way and compromising the neutrality of our queer coverage.
I contribute mostly usingSafari onmacOS10.15 Catalina, but may use other browsers in public locations. I also have ablog, but I update it rarely and I'mmore active onTwitter.
FromJanuary 2006 toAugust 2006, I was anadministrator of Wikipedia. I currently possess theauto-patrolled,page mover,pending changes reviewer,rollback andtemplate editor rights, which allow me to undertake specific technical tasks. I also have contribute toWikiquote and theWikimedia Commons sporadically. You are free to look at mylogs of my tenure as an editor and administrator.
I value the quality of Wikipedia articles over the quantity. I support merging related articles that aren't particularly well-written or notnotable and deleting articles that cannot be improved. I feel that Wikipedia is sometimes too optimistic with regards to article quality and keep some articles that have little chance of improvement. I oftendo what I think is best for the encyclopedia. I also attempt to beneutral, but in favour of countering systemic bias, with any topic I edit on Wikipedia, despite my political leanings; I feel this is the only way to contribute in areas full of institutional bias.
If you like this design, use it. Most of the page is taken from thePortal skeleton. The small links were inspired byKyoko, and the icons at the top were inspired byRiana. Conversely, I am always available to do a userpage redesign for you if you ask.
