Hello, and welcome to my user page! I contribute to many different areas of Wikipedia where I see unmet needs. I strive to improve the world's information ecosystem, in pursuit of Wikipedia's mission to make humanity's collective knowledge accessible to everyone.
I began editing in 2012 and have been active since 2018, andbecame a volunteeradministrator in February 2024. I have been aWikimedia Foundation contractor since May 2025, and make edits in that role using mySdkb-WMF account.–Sdkbtalk
Sdkb has done a lot of amazing things. Created 239 articles, 68K edits with a respectable 56% tomainspace. But most memorable is their diligent effort in streamlining many of the templates used to welcome new editors. They also run the valuableSdkbBot and help out at the Teahouse.
ThisBarnstar is awarded to Wikipedians who have performed stellar work in the area ofinstruction &help for other editors. I've loved seeing the energy you've brought to advocating improvements in our onboarding of newcomers, especially your invaluable help withthe introductory tutorials.T.Shafee(Evo&Evo)talk 12:25, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

A.C.'s Book Stack of Unreadability
Thank you for trying to move things along in the recent ANIthread. I'm sad your close was reverted as the thread has basically multiplied in size and has become near unreadable. Your attempt at trying to move discussion to appropriate channels and reducing the threshold for new voices to get in has been noted by me and probably others as well.A. C.

The Original Barnstar
For sticking up for readers. Over time, I've noticed your advocacy for changes and policies that make Wikipedia better for everyday readers, not just for us editors. I think the reader's experience is too often overlooked, so I wanted to give you this!Ganesha811 (talk) 02:50, 29 March 2022 (UTC)
The Original Barnstar
I wanted to give someone a barnstar, so I looked in your contribs and talk page and found out you're a really good, underrated editor! Thank you for being a polite, helpful editor (unlike some of the editors on Wikipedia today..) and assuming good faith!Dinoz1(chat?) 12:54, 26 July 2022 (UTC)
On behalf of theEditing team and my own team, thank you for your support for theTalk pages project during the last several years. I expectDiscussion tools to be out of Beta Features at all wikis before long. The team couldn't have met its goals without your help, especially your willingness to ask and answer questions. Editing hopes you will continue partnering with them formw:Edit check. Thank you so much.Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk) 19:24, 28 September 2023 (UTC)
The Special Barnstar
Hi! Couple things, but as to why i'm giving you this, it's thanks to your great editing and interactions!
I like the new signature. I can't pin exactly why, but the font and shape reminds me of old computers.
I have occasionally edited in areas where I have a very mildconflict of interest (e.g. improving coverage of a business I've patronized), but I avoid doing so on any topic where I am too closely connected to be able to approach it with a detached, neutral mindset. When I was a less experienced editor (until 2021), I occasionallycited my own (non-commercial) work when it was the only or best source I could find. I have neveredited for pay. I have aprivately disclosed alternate account used for testing and edits revealing personal information (e.g. audio recordings).
I work for or provide services to the Wikimedia Foundation, but this is my personal account. Edits, statements, or other contributions made from this account are my own, and may not reflect the views of the Foundation.
