A bit about me.

I'm a Yorkshire Lass. I've lived in a few different places, currently based in Somerset.

I've been laid up for three months and to solve my boredom problem I started reading through Wikipedia. I've read (and forgotten) most of the policies, and oh boy is there areso many. I've read through RfA's (fascinating and scary), block logs, noticeboards (fringe has kept me entertained, keep up the good works), edit wars (helped me get to sleep), dramas (bored me after a while), sockpuppet investigations (at my age I can barely remember my own name let alone multiple logins) and I've seen some really helpful people in action (a few really unhelpful).

So, I decided to join the community and dip my toe in the water. I've a feeling I will be sticking to reversing vandalism and be a Gnome. I don't know how some of you have the energy to do this day in and day out.

Also, why do a lot of vandals include any variation of the following...cheese, boi, ttt and Ryan? Apologies to all the CheesieboitttRyans out there.

		This is for your efforts welcoming new editors! It's a task that few in which few partake, but I've always felt it to be vital to the long term health of Wikipedia, and wanted to make sure you're recognized for it. :) SPF121188 (talk this way) (contribs) 20:33, 25 October 2022 (UTC)
