My name is Tamzin Hadasa Kelly.<ref>Acceptable nicknames: {{xt|'zin}}, {{xt|TZ}}, {{xt|T.H.}}. Please no {{!xt|Tam}} or {{!xt|Tammy}}. Not a gender thing; I just don't like them as names.</ref> Yes, ''Tamzin'' is [[Tamzin|a real name]], pronounced {{ipac-en|'|t|æ|m|z|ɪ|n|}} in most American accents. I take ''she{{hsp}}/{{hsp}}her'', [[they/them pronouns|''they''{{hsp}}/{{hsp}}''them'']], or [[xe/xem|''xe''{{hsp}}/{{hsp}}''xem'']] pronouns.<ref>See [[User:Tamzin/Gender]] for more information if you care, but that's all you really need to know.</ref> I live in [[Cape May County, New Jersey]].

I am, first and foremost, an [[WP:Wikipedians|editor]] here. Over the years, I've taken on a few additional roles, including [[WP:administrator|administrator]],<ref>For what I can help you with in that capacity, please see [[WP:MOPRIGHTS]]. For permissions requests, self-requested blocks, and copies of deleted content, please see [[User:Tamzin/Discretionary admin things]].</ref> [[WP:SPI/C|sockpuppet investigations clerk]], [[WP:BOT|bot operator]] ([[User:'zinbot|'zinbot]]), and [[m:global renamer|global renamer]],<ref>See [[m:Special:CentralAuth/Tamzin]] and [[m:User:Tamzin]] for a full accounting of my permissions on various wikis. Additionally, I am an op in {{libera|wikipedia-en-help}}.</ref> and there are periods when I spend most of my on-wiki time on administrative matters, but I firmly believe that the most important thing any of us does is write and improve articles. Everything else must always be in service of that.

I previously edited under the usernames ''Francophonie&Androphilie'' (Nov. 2012 – Jan. 2013) and ''PinkAmpersand'' (Jan. 2013 – Oct. 2020). Please see [[User:Tamzin/Disclosures and commitments]] for other policy-compliance stuff and some notes on accountability.

I believe that ''[[every Marine is a rifleman|every Wikipedian ought to be a content contributor]]'' first and foremost, and that everything else they do should be guided by that. At the same time, I think that focus on "content creator" dynamics often sets that bar unfairly high. A content contributor isn't a person who creates FAs, or GAs, or any articles at all, necessarily. It's someone who contributes to the encyclopedia's content in a way that makes things better for our readers. For years,<ref>[https://xtools.wmflabs.org/ec-monthcounts/en.wikipedia.org/Tamzin Month-by-month namespace totals.] See, roughly, October of 2013 through December of 2017.</ref> my main form of interaction with Wikipedia was just reading articles and touching things up along the way. I think everyone should try to take some time to do some amount of content work, even little things—not because content work is the only valuable kind of work, but because it keeps you in touch with what we're doing here: building an encyclopedia.

What strikes me, then, is that despite all the tensions we have over "content creators" versus not, there's one thing that almost everyone's guilty of (myself included, often), and that's not actually focusing on the quality of the product we're here to make. We have four and a half different village pumps for matters of governance.<ref>[[Wikipedia:Village pump (policy)]], [[Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)]], [[Wikipedia:Village pump (idea lab)]], [[Wikipedia:Village pump (WMF)]], and partly [[Wikipedia:Village pump (miscellaneous)]].</ref> But we don't have a [[Wikipedia:Village pump (content)]]. Why is that?

For a volunteer organization trying to create a massive educational tool, our scarcest resource is [[man-hour|editor-hours]]. I believe in prioritizing outcomes that maximize the long-term number of quality content-oriented editor-hours. We need to have very little patience for editors who make others less likely to contribute quality content. And ''those of us who often work a bit removed from mainspace should always be able to justify how our work increases the amount of quality content-oriented editor-hours available''.

When I was in [[AmeriCorps]] with [[City Year]], I would tell my students, "I'm like a teacher's aide, except I work for you instead of for the teacher." That's how I see being a Wikipedia editor: I'm like any other writer of an educational resource, except I work for the readers instead of any boss.

We have an ethical duty to our readers to inform them and, within reason, to not make their lives worse. We have an ethical duty to those we write about to be accurate and, within reason, to not make their lives worse. We have an ethical duty to our editors to keep them safe from abuse (be that by trolls or by nation-states).

==What I do here==
<div style="float:right;clear:right;margin-top:1em;">
{{user GitHub|TamzinHadasa}}
</div>
I try to stick to quieter tasks, avoiding the busier parts of projectspace. Sometimes I even succeed at that.

Normally you'll find me doing some mix of the following (in no particular order):

* Writing about current events and legal topics.
* Removing unsourced statements from articles. (Reminder! If you see an unsourced contentious statement about a living person, '''don't {{tl|cn}} it; remove it!''' I routinely remove [[WP:BLP|BLP]] violations that are more than 15 years old, and that should not be happening.)
* Sourcing unsourced statements in articles (something you should always try to do before removing an unsourced statement, unless it's obviously false, obviously going to be very hard to verify, or a BLP violation<ref>It's still better to try to source a potential BLP violation than just removing it outright, but removing without checking is better than thinking "I don't have time to check right now, so I'll just let it stand".</ref>).
* Clerking [[Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations]] (and avoiding getting jaded in the process).
* Handling reports [[WP:AIV|of vandalism]], [[WP:UAA|of problematic usernames]], and [[WP:AN/I|of other problematic behavior]].
* Handling [[CAT:CSD|requests]] for [[WP:CSD|speedy deletion]].
* Participating and closing discussions at [[Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion]].
* Working on other kinds of navigational aids: [[Wikipedia:DAB|disambiguation pages]], [[Wikipedia:Hatnote|hatnotes]], etc.
* Troubleshooting [[regexes]] at [[Wikipedia:Edit filter/False positives]].
* Troubleshooting or improving templates, modules, and scripts.
* Actioning [[:Category:Wikipedia template-protected edit requests|template-protected]] and [[:Category:Wikipedia fully-protected edit requests|fully-protected]] edit requests.
* Actioning pagemove requests at [[Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests]].
* [[Wikipedia:NPP|Patrolling new pages]], especially new redirects.
* Helping users in {{Libera|wikipedia-en-help}} and responding to [[WP:revdel|revdel]] requests in {{Libera|wikipedia-en-revdel}}.
* Responding to inquiries sent in to the [[Wikipedia:Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team]].
* [[quarry:Tamzin|Coming up with SQL queries]], [[quarry:query/60883|some of which]] are quite useful and [[quarry:query/60552|some of which]] are sillier.

==Five rules I try to follow==

''These make me a better editor. I encourage others to live by them as well. [[WP:IAR|As with Wikipedia policy]], occasional exceptions may apply.''

# Outside of my own [[WP:userspace|userspace]], I try to always use an [[H:ES|edit summary]].
# When I [[WP:RV|revert]] someone, if I'm anywhere less than 100% sure that they'll read and understand my edit summary, I try to leave a note on either the relevant talk page or on their user talk page.
# When dealing with a non-malicious edit that had a clear summary, I try to hold myself to [[WP:1RR|1RR]], and usually to [[WP:0RR|0RR]] if I made the first edit.
# I contend that every person who edits Wikipedia without compensation and in good faith has a mind that works a bit differently from the rest of the society. As a practical matter this means that I try to treat everyone like they're somewhere on the [[autism spectrum]]... since most of them either are or have [[subclinical]] symptoms thereof.  Even if someone isn't on or near the spectrum, there's still no harm done by treating them with a little extra [[WP:AGF|AGF]] and putting a bit more thought into how I phrase things. Essay [[to kome]].
# Be honest.

==Several things that make editing easier==

The [[Help:pipe trick|pipe trick]] exists and I feel like a lot of people don't know about that because it doesn't show up in diffs. (Update: This has since been confirmed by multiple [[WP:functionaries|functionaries]] telling me they hadn't heard of it till they read this.)

I use [[WP:Twinkle|Twinkle]], [[WP:RedWarn|RedWarn]], and [[WP:popups|popups]] for a whole bunch of useful things. The first two's relevance depends on your editing style, but I think popups is indispensable to any editor. At XfDs I use [[WP:XFDCloser|XFDCloser]].

==Three controversial opinions about Wikipedia==

# [[WP:NODISCLAIMERS]] has outlived its usefulness. As a major provider of information to a global audience, we should hold ourselves to disclaimer standards similar to those of major media organizations.
# We should not allow [[WP:BLP|BLP]]s about people who do not unambiguously meet [[WP:GNG|GNG]], as established by references that are actually in their articles. Any BLP subject who has not been the subject of long-term coverage in reliable sources as an adult should be able to have their article deleted on request.
# [[WP:LEAD|It's spelled "lede".]]

==One lie I've told==
I don't actually [https://signatures.toolforge.org/check/en.wikipedia.org/Tamzin need a cetacean]. I live quite close to a beach that dolphins routinely swim by. I have all the cetaceans I could ever need.
