User:EmptySora
A bit of a preamble
Pronouns: she/her.
Please do not use my old username when referring to me. It is associated with my deadname. In referring to me, please use one of the following:
- EmptySora_ (or EmptySora or EmptySora1 if underscores are not available), my social media handle on Twitter, Twitch, etc.,
- Sora, my nickname and internet identity,
- or Naomi, my given name, and what I would most prefer to be called.
As hinted, I am trans. However, the labels for trans people are complicated, unclear, and/or stigmatized, so, for me, it’s just easier if that’s not a factor at all. I prefer not to identify as trans (or any similar term), in other words. I hope that makes sense, somewhat.
Thank you!
- Naomi
So yeah, this is a user page, and not part of the main wiki.
And now, a letter to myself:
Greetings and well met, my dear, future self,
The iOS app’s talk page interfaces auto-sign replies. Please stop inserting the four tildes to sign them. You’ll have to edit the page again to remove the duplicated signature if you do, lol.Your past self.
Sincerely,
Milestones

|---|
| †Side note: I waited multiple hours after edit 500 and the flag wasn’t added. The flag clearly isn’t granted on 500, but, instead, the moment you do edit 501, seeing as my last edit triggered it. Coincidentally, checking my user log here, the extended flag is granted at the exact same time as the timestamp of edit 501, confirming this. I also tried editing Russian invasion of Ukraine (as it is semi-protected) after edit 500 to see if it would trigger the flag. It didn’t. So, I’m not sure why WP:XC would say “A registered editor becomes extendedconfirmed automatically when the account has existed for at least 30 days and has made at least 500 edits.”. Clearly, it should read “[…] and has made more than 500 edits.” It would seem that most of the clarification topics on that WP article’s talk page were after users got to 500 but didn’t get the flag. Then, ironically, in posting about their confusion, that’s edit 501, which properly grants it, solving the problem. This is visible in this edit and the user rights log. Both also have the same timestamp. I’d update the page, but contrary to WP:BRD, I’m a coward, lol. |
Edits
[edit]I browse a lot of Wikipedia, and try to fix any grammatical, mechanical, or other errors I come across. If you have any issues with any of my edits, or want to contact me, try my talk page. I use this site nearly hourly, so I’m bound to see it pretty quickly.
Also, I tend to do most of my edits on my phone. Recently, my phone decided that autocorrect really insists on capitalizing random words and throwing in weird replacements. (Eg: Karyotype test ⇒ Largo type year) I try to catch these errors where possible, but some slip through. Sorry if that happens, it’s not intentional. I can’t disable it either since I typo every other letter, practically.
Another issue is Unicode quotes: ‘ and ’ vs '. If I accidentally use Unicode instead of ASCII, my bad. Again, not intentional, just missed it. (Almost happened when I edited the lip licker’s whatever page)
Also, apparently, I don’t know how edit summary templates work, lol. (Such as this edit)
So, in summary, most of my edits will fall under the following categories:
- Grammar/spelling corrections
- Converting references to the new formats (eg: text or parenthetical citations to CS1/CS2 templates, ref tags, and reflist templates)
- Adding citations (very rarely, depending on the kind of rabbit holes I fall into)
- Reverting vandalism
- Fixes to tables, formats, etc.. (and other technical things)
Aside from that, I’ve got nothing.
To a better, more informative, Wikipedia~!
