This is the user page for Darmokandjalad. I am a novice editor focused mainly on copy-editing and fact-checking, though I have a few original articles in the works. While I focus on articles related to my personal interests and professional expertise, I am making an effort to improve and expand on articles that will offset the demographic bias I bring to the community.
