Wiki editor level: Novice / Confirmed Extended
Hello, Wiki world.
I'm a transplanted American on the other side of the globe.
How I got my "Wiki handle" ... around the same time I came on board with Wikipedia, I'd been looking at Iceland Air's website a lot to get some flight information, and I found it so cute what the airline kept flashing on the screen in the few seconds between my making a request for flight information and when it would arrive: "Augnablik: that means just a second in Icelandic, literally 'blink of an eye.'" That's my only connection to Iceland, if you can call it that!
I've done a lot of proofreading and editing over my life, though I identify more as an educator, instructional designer, and writer. But I'm one of those picky people who react to egregiously awful grammar, punctuation, and spelling — as well as lack of clarity and coherence — the same way as if I heard nails screeching down a chalkboard.
I have to laugh at my title of being a "confirmed extended" novice editor, as I'm definitely over-extended on many days. Which is why long gaps have sometimes gone by between my posting of messages or edits.
Tip of the day...
As a new editor you may be wondering, "How can I help?" and be overwhelmed by the extent and scope of the entire Wikipedia project. An introduction for new contributors is available at Help:Getting started which provides a self-guided road map of tutorials, introductions, training topics and other resources allowing you to learn more about how you can help improve the Wikipedia project. – – Read more: To add this auto-updating template to your user page, use {{totd3}}
