Hi! This is my user page I guess. Thanks for dropping by!

Although I will edit any pages I come across that look interesting, I am particularly inclined towards pages related to marginalized and underrepresented groups (LGBTQ, indigenous, non-Western, non-white, disabled, etc).

Some drafts that I particularly welcome additions to:

The Editor's Barnstar

Hello, ForsythiaJo,

Thank you for "rescuing" all of those empty categories that were part of Category:LGBTQ history by year. I don't know how you tracked down their old contents once they had been emptied.

Of course, empty categories can always be recreated if they are just deleted for being empty and no other reason but we still need editors who will spend the time tracking down what articles are appropriate to assign to them and that is a task that takes time and effort. Thank you for spending some of your time on the project looking for this information. It's appreciated! Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 19:19, 26 June 2026 (UTC)
