Search user languages  Skip to the bottom  Back to the top ELCOME to my little corner of this vast space that is Misplaced Pages! I currently live in the city of Surrey in the beautiful province of British Columbia, Canada. I'm just a regular guy with a love of knowledge; don't really have much to say about myself. As for my contributions here, I make mostly minor "clean-up" edits to articles on pretty much any subject, but fringe topics interest me the most. All of my edits are done manually (Twinkle/Friendly and HotCat being the only automated tools I use for common maintenance tasks). I spend most of my time on Misplaced Pages just reading and navigating through the seemingly never-ending maze of articles and links, but as I go I'm always trying to find a way to somehow improve whatever page I come across. I'm also an administrator here so I tend to do more maintenance-type work rather than writing new content, though I have started a few articles. I also try to help out meta-wise and you may find me generally doing a little bit of everything, from patrolling new pages to fighting vandalism, to redirect-sorting and categorizing, believing each minor contribution will improve the whole. Although I'm usually very Sloth-like, I'd probably still classify myself as a WikiGnome, albeit a slightly obsessive one ;) I also welcome new editors and am an active random page patroller too; with 6,936,899 articles you never know what you may come across, and it's always a treat when you discover that one treasure of an article. I take Misplaced Pages seriously but I also believe it's important to have fun therefore I try to avoid drama as much as possible, but I'm not unwilling to make a difficult block if I must. I have much faith in Misplaced Pages and its policies and optimistic hope for its future. If you have any comments or suggestions for me or just want to say "Hey!" you are most welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. — ${\displaystyle {\mathfrak {OlEnglish}}}$ 19:51, January 7, 2025 PST

Today's motto... Read all about it! Nominate one today!

A dummy edit is a slight change in an article's wikitext that has no effect on the rendered page but allows you to save a useful edit summary. This is like a SMS (Short Message Service).

To make a "dummy edit" just make a slight non-rendering change to the page, fill out the edit summary with your short message including this tag: ] (include the four square brackets), and save your change. (Note that a null edit does not modify the wikitext and does not allow you to leave an edit summary.)

Uses for dummy edits:

• Correcting a previous edit summary
• Repairing insufficient attribution for copy-and-pasted Misplaced Pages content
• Addressing an accidental use of rollback
• Providing a note, from a user while logged-in, that notes an edit performed while logged out
• Sending brief messages regarding editing issues
• Providing proof of activity from time to time by a dormant but not dead user
• Prompting a bot to re-examine a page
