User:Departure–

Former alt of DontBanMeThanks, once GeorgeMemulous, and now Departure–. Sometimes I edit, and I try not to break the rules (if I do, feel free to tell me on my talk page). I'm a bit of a bold editor when I feel like it, and often help out at WP:ITNC and WP:Help desk, as well as miscellaneous anti-vandalism work.

My current signature (never going to change at this rate): Departure– (talk) 16:07, 20 November 2024 (UTC)

Other: Nominated Hurricane Helene for ITN, as well as a few other things that ended up getting merged (2024 Israeli invasion of Lebanon, National Public Data breach, Water on Mars, etc.), made ITN hooks for Hurricane Milton and Valeriana (city), involved in the great Tornado records edit wars / revert festival of June 2024, often edit from an 800-way split anon-blocked IP, and over 2000 edits now.
