Hello, this is
Stevey7788
(

)! But you can just call me "
Steve
". I am a scientist, naturalist, linguist, and
Wikipediholic
who is eager to document Earth's astounding diversity on Wikipedia as we strive to build the world's largest free online encyclopedia that anyone can edit.
Most of Wikipedia's articles on languages and linguistics were created, expanded, cleaned up, and maintained by me and former admin
Kwamikagami
. We are to languages as
Pvmoutside
is to living species.
I'm expanding and improving
Wikipedia
whenever I can, and have a variety of interests here. Currently, I am particularly interested in the
languages of Southeast Asia
and
Mesoamerica
.
Wikipedia is not just one of the best reference tools ever created — it's a great place where everybody can get together, form a community, and write an online encyclopedia together. Although Wikipedia is a great place on the Internet, it's not 100% perfect. But let the encyclopedia writing go on.
- Some of Wikipedia's pillars
Some of my current tasks on Wikipedia include:
- The usual task of reading, writing, and rewriting articles. I do mainly the cleanup, grammar fixes, section moving, racist tone check/cleanup, and other work.
- RC patroling, sometimes new page patroling
- Creating
redirects
and
disambiguation
pages. Currently, I mainly split or merge pages.
- Patroling the
Sandbox
-- raking out content, putting headers back, fishing out offensive content, checking for vandalism
- Dealing with
vandals
and warning them
- Welcoming new users and being part of the
Kindness Campaign
Anyways, please feel free to edit or improve my page any way you'd like. I'd really be pleased if someone would help re-organize my page for me. :)

Used to be mainly minor edits and tedious work. Due to the images I have uploaded recently, you may see my contributions list clogged up with uploaded images.
Before April 2005, redirects were marked as minor edits.

I,
FP
, in my official capacity as nobody-in-particular, hereby bestow upon you,
Stevey7788
, the mighty and presigious
Atlas Award
for your
dedicated and ongoing work
to ensure that one of Wikipedia's most visible pages — the
Sandbox
— is sanitary, inoffensive, tidy and welcoming to new
Wikipedians
.
"The Atlas Award For Raking the Sandbox Clean may be awarded to those who have gone above and beyond the call of duty in fishing disgusting and unwanted items from the Wikipedia sandbox. The Atlas award is named after Charles Atlas and is taken from his 'they kicked sand in my face' advertisement, and is in no way merely a masculine image. It is a symbol of self-empowerment. Charles Atlas was once a self-styled 98-pound weakling, and through his own diligence and effort, became a very succesful businessman and body builder. And his business empire began with the ad that this image is from."
Well done. --

Even though I wasn't ever welcomed, I was welcoming others later!
As a newbie on Wiki, I was amused when somebody wrote a short autobiography on my user page:
All about Steve the Vandal
I am also a very active Wiktionarian. Lexical companions to online encyclopedias can really be quite fun.
