Hi there. I've been asysop here since 2008, and was anoversighter between 2012 and 2019. Most of my substantial edits have been to articles relating to popular culture, which is a fancy way of saying "games, sports and music". More recently I tend to do stuff like adding references tobiographies of living persons.
I follow the football teams ofmy hometown andmy country (for my sins). I've lived in theSan Francisco Bay Area since 2016.
You can get in touch with me by clickinghere, hitting the "new section" or "+" tab in the menubar to the top of this page. If your request requires privacy, please feel free to find me on IRC (as "foks"), or get mevia email (if you have an account).
I work for or provide services to the Wikimedia Foundation (asJSutherland (WMF)), 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.

Hi Fox,
It is noted atWikipedia:Linter#Other errors that four apostrophes in a row is sometimes incorrect markup. I am on a campaign to review these and fix where appropriate. You had an old signature found on some User, User talk, and Wikipedia pages:
''''[[User talk:Garden|<span>weburiedoursecretsinthe</span><span>garden</span>]]'''with 4 apostrophes in the markup. My question: Did you really want the apostrophe to display?
If the apostrophe is unintentional, I will fix it to
'''[[User talk:Garden|<span>weburiedoursecretsinthe</span><span>garden</span>]]'''If the apostrophe is intentional, I will fix it to
{{`}}'''[[User talk:Garden|<span>weburiedoursecretsinthe</span><span>garden</span>]]'''to remove any doubt that the apostrophe is outside the bold, and so wiki-fixers working on 4 apostrophes won't come across these again. Please let me know your wishes on this. —Anomalocaris (talk)18:21, 21 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
<div> coming fromUser:Fox/l; I assume those are intentional and needed for the this page to format as desired. I hope this is all OK. Cheers! —Anomalocaris (talk)22:11, 26 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]Hello, Fox. This message is being sent to remind you of significant upcoming changes regarding logged-out editing.
Starting 4 November, logged-out editors will no longer have their IP address publicly displayed. Instead, they will have atemporary account (TA) associated with their edits. Users with some extended rights like administrators and CheckUsers, as well as users with thetemporary account IP viewer (TAIV) user right will still be able to reveal temporary users' IP addresses and all contributions made by temporary accounts from a specific IP address or range.
How do temporary accounts work?

Impact for administrators
Rules about IP information disclosure
~2025-12345-67 and ~2025-12345-68 are likely the same person, so I am counting their reverts together toward3RR, but notHey ~2025-12345-68, you did some good editing as ~2025-12345-67)
