Nice to meet you! I'm Ben. I've been editing Wikipedia for about 16 years, and I'm an administrator (RfA · recall) and bot approver (RfBAG).
Much of my work these days is technical in nature. I run EarwigBot, handle bot approvals, maintain a few tools on Toolforge (including a copyright violation detector), and develop user scripts. There is some Wikipedia-related code on my GitHub, including a Python parser for wikicode called mwparserfromhell that has gotten a bit of attention. As an admin, I help out in a variety of general maintenance areas, like speedy deletion.
My content interests mostly center around biology, particularly entomology (hence the insect username). This is purely a layman interest; in real life, I am a software engineer.
Helping new users feel comfortable here is one of the most important things we can do as experienced contributors. This is a guiding philosophy of mine, as a longtime participant of WikiProject Articles for creation and #wikipedia-en-help.
My talk page is always open. For private matters, you can contact me by email (wikipedia.earwig
gmail.com) or on IRC (nickname Earwig, hostname wikipedia/The-Earwig).
— Given the level of dysfunction that has come to prevail on Wikipedia, the most appropriate course is for all editors to work together to fix it. † —
