Hello!

Sorry about the mess. I'll most likely remember to properly write this page eventually.^[a] Until then, please see the userboxes to the right for the basics, and if you have any questions then please ask me on my talk page.

I'm trying to improve Wikipedia's coverage of spiders, my favourite order of arachnid and an animal that gets a lot of undue hate. I primarily make minor edits to spider-related articles, and sometimes work on marsupial-related and Australia-related articles. I am slowly but surely attempting to keep Wikipedia taxonomy in line with the World Spider Catalog taxonomy.

My editing can be sporadic due to an ongoing preoccupation with pursuit of a degree in science, and moreover, my time management skills leave much to be desired. As a result, most of my edits during the semester are minor edits, clarifications, and updating articles based on current events, as opposed to anything as substantial as writing a new article or even a new section of such. Taking the aforementioned information into consideration along with the inherently collaborative nature of Wikipedia, it would be needlessly self-congratulatory and vastly overstating my impact for me to list any articles here that I have 'done' or 'written'.

I find myself on Wikipedia fairly often procrastinating or clarifying something-or-other, and usually on my forays I come across something that I can correct but don't have time to at that moment. On occasions such as these, I see little use in adding a [citation needed] or needs update tag when I can just as easily fix it myself and nobody appears to have worked on the article in question recently, so it is unlikely that those tags would be productive; so I add it to my list of things to work on. I note this to explain the strange array of articles in my to-do list.

To-do
