Due to real life issues, chief but not sole among which are health concerns, I do from time to time disappear from Wikipedia completely out of the blue, or suddenly radically decrease activity.
This absence can be as short as a few days and as long as a year or more. My apologies for any inconvenience this may bring you. - AddWittyNameHere
I am AddWittyNameHere. Dutch AFAB agender, in my 30s, pronoun-indifferent so whichever pronoun you use works. Witty and AWNH are the more common abbreviations of my username, but I'm not particularly picky about that either. (If I can figure you mean me, and you're not blatantly insulting, whatever you come up with is fine)
I'm on the autistic spectrum. For the most part, this doesn't impact my editing beyond choice of subject—I've got an enduring fascination with insects in general and Lepidoptera in specific—but I can occasionally slip into overly long-winded explanations or over-reliance on bold and italic text when I feel the exact nuances of a situation/subject are important. I try to keep a lid on that, but every now and then I fail to notice it, so please feel free to point it out to me where it hinders rather than helps communication.
My edits tend to come in short bursts of high activity, followed by longer periods of little to no activity. Although I am in the Netherlands (timezone UTC+1/UTC+2 during DST), I have a somewhat weird sleep schedule, and as such am more likely to be around between 22:00-06:00 UTC than anything "typical" for my timezone. In addition to the languages in my Babel box over ===>, there's another bunch of European languages I can to some degree read but am not confident speaking/writing in.
My work at Wikipedia
Right now:
Something-or-another Lepidoptera. Got a good few tasks I flitter back and forth between because moth work is rarely small scale and even with my autistic hyperfocus there is only so long I can stand to make near-identical fixes across articles before I feel a pressing need to do something else for a bit.
Lepidoptera-related
Adding, adjusting, diffusing, removing redundant categories on articles
Adding, adjusting, diffusing stub-templates on articles
The occasional bit of work with redirects, stubs and categorization outside Tree of Life, mostly on an as-I-come-across-it basis.
I used to be a fairly active vandal-fighter in my early wiki days, but these days engage in that only once in a blue moon in between bursts of maintenance-gnoming.
