Wikipedia editor

TheYearbookTeacher is a Wikipedian not particularly of note who is very obsessed with reference sections (properly called bibliographies, but hey, whaddyagonnadoaboutit? The others have spoken before me and so it shall be. This is the spirit ofcollaboration. When on Wikipedia, you can usually find her cleaning up an obscure reference section, filling out bare URL citations, researching in theInternet Archive, theGoogle Cache,Google Scholar, or a country/region/nonprofit archival database such as theUS National Archive. I also really like archives. Maybe she should have been a Librarian.^[i]

Born out ofbad decisions and 24-hour glitz and sweat there is little known about Yearbook Teacher. Some say she came out of her mother's womb with a martini in one hand and a Parliament cigarette in the other, stopping only to giveMayor Goodman and his showgirls a handshake on baby's first walk to the poker table. Some say she was just born really really cool. Well, it ended there.

A perpetual dweeb in middle and high school, she preferred joining many extracurricular activities, most of which required minimal human contact.

She went on to have a career as amanaging editor at anacademic publishing subcontractor for several years before herMillennialburnout became too great, forcing her to become a teacher.

The total collection of all the mess I've made on the back end of Wikipedia in the pursuit of a more perfect encyclopedia.

So while I know my departure is not necessarily needed — and I'm unlikely to fully go away like I did when I deleted my extended auto-confirmed account years ago — I think this is an important point to keep in mind.Remember, Wikipedia's policies oncivility,assuming good faith, kindness go a long way, y'all.
