Lindsey is the name, casual updating is the game. Big on readability improvements and "flow". Currently working on improving content layouts. I authored my first article in May 2022. I'm still riding the high of my first GA and DYK nom acceptances.

I've dipped into almost everything: historical biographies, sports, private schools, cats... and many more. Lately I've been giving the Random Article button a workout to do spot checks and clean up some citations. I try my best to make sure that my edits are properly sourced (if needed) and add value to the article, but if you notice something off (or if you just want to discuss American football) please let me know. I stand by my edits, but know I'm not omnipotent. If I'm wrong, tell me! If I don't understand, teach me! But be prepared to cite your sources.

I haven't always put summary comments in my edits, but I'm trying to be better!

For determining the worldwide consensus on the use of the word: "cipher" in relation to the updates to the Cipher Department of the High Command of the Wehrmacht article thereby bringing the language into the modern age. Great work!! scope_creepTalk 11:39, 7 September 2022 (UTC)
