Tails Wx is taking a short wikibreak to get ready for exams and will be back on Wikipedia once the exams are over.
This user is in school .
This user is taking an academic wikibreak and may be away or inactive for varying periods of time.
However, Tails Wx will sometimes get the chance to edit, so he would respond quicker and edit more than those who were on a regular wikibreak.
He will be back on Wikipedia full-time when school is over.

Hiya, welcome to my userpage! I'm Tails Wx , though all refer me as Tails . I'm a two-tailed fox from Hedgehog Village who normally edits weather-related articles and other miscellaneous areas, including events and biographies, such as 2023 New York City parking garage collapse or Paul Pavelka . When I'm not writing or improving articles, I usually use AntiVandal for countervandalism, sometimes review GAs , and often go to WP:ITN to...improve more articles for them to appear on the Main Page, I guess.
Off Wikipedia, I'm a storm chaser and passionate about weather. Additionally, I'm a tennis player, and a violaist based in Bloomington, Indiana – Hoo-Hoo-Hoo Hoosiers! (In the words of Pat McAfee .)
For those wondering, my guestbook is here , and I have two alternate accounts: Tails Wx1 and Tails Wx9 .
