Hi, I'm FormalDude. I work in a lot of areas on the project, but some of my typical activities include reviewing pending changes, edit requests, and new pages. Additionally, I work to promote articles to GA status, remove copyright violations and make copyright requests. I review articles for creation and patrol articles for deletion. Please feel free to ask me questions! I also happily take requests for reviews on my talk page.

Want to see some funny stuff? Or find some new music to listen to?

I can not believe I never gave you a barnstar way back. Thank you for always offering help when I've asked! To say you went above and beyond to help when I was a new editor is an understatement.

Hi Formal, I know this is long overdue, but I wanted to make this my 10,000th edit. Thanks for your advice and help on and off wiki, being always there when I’m unsure about something, and for updating quotes every day then week. More broadly, for your work answering questions and mentoring new users on the Teahouse, the mentorship module, and through the adopt a user program. I probably would not have gotten this far without you. Thank you for being here :D Justiyaya 11:10, 19 January 2023 (UTC)
