Kelly]] ([[Z''L]]), a lifelong opponent of fascism and all who would govern by fear (see {{slink|Edwin_Walker#Political_career}}). My middle name at birth was ''Harrison'', after my great-grandfather Harry (Z'{{'}}L), who fled Poland in the build-up to [[HaShoah]] and started a family here, doing the most audacious thing a Jew can do: live. In the Jewish tradition, it is common to name people after relatives by sharing just an initial. Thus, when I transitioned, I preserved the aitch in his honor, picking the new middle name ''Hadasa'', the birth name of [[Esther|Queen Esther]]—the original antifascist, a woman who through both wit and beauty convinced her husband, the king, that it was not enough merely to spare the Jews death; we needed the right to fight back.

[[File:On the backrooms.ogg|thumb|right|"on the backrooms". <small>(i turned out to be wrong about when/whether i'd resysop, because apparently i did still have some room left to change as a person at 28, who'd've thunk it? the rest remains as true as ever.)</small>]]</div></div>
i used to be a very active administrator here. eventually [[:File:On the backrooms.ogg|i got disillusioned]] by the way we treat one another in the shitty backrooms where meta-level decisions are made. (that's a "we", not a "they"; i was absolutely part of the problem.) i still do some administrative work now, trying to emphasize quality over quantity, but my main focus is on writing articles—which is, you know, what wikipedia is actually for. for that reason, i am probably not the best admin to go to if you need something done quickly and it isn't something i'm already familiar with.


if you find yourself spending more time talking about the people who write wikipedia than being one of those people, remember that you can fix that today:
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.

NameThis user's name is Tamzin Hadasa Kelly.

🤷This user refers to xemself with the pronouns they/them or xe/xem, but gender is a social construct, so you can use whatever pronouns feel right to you.

BLOCKThis user has been blocked for cause before, and would like to be again someday. (fulfill)


"on the backrooms". (i turned out to be wrong about when/whether i'd resysop, because apparently i did still have some room left to change as a person at 28, who'd've thunk it? the rest remains as true as ever.)

i used to be a very active administrator here. eventually i got disillusioned by the way we treat one another in the shitty backrooms where meta-level decisions are made. (that's a "we", not a "they"; i was absolutely part of the problem.) i still do some administrative work now, trying to emphasize quality over quantity, but my main focus is on writing articles—which is, you know, what wikipedia is actually for. for that reason, i am probably not the best admin to go to if you need something done quickly and it isn't something i'm already familiar with.

if you find yourself spending more time talking about the people who write wikipedia than being one of those people, remember that you can fix that today:

may your memory forever be for a blessing, O Comrade Vami_IV (1999–2024). you gave this community so much and you deserved so much better than what it gave you—and you still kept giving, nevertheless.

Details

  1. ^ The local list is incomplete due to limitations in how MediaWiki detects redirect creation. On the other hand, it includes blank-and-redirects and redirects that were later turned into content pages, which XTools omits. Neither list includes soft redirects, but some can be seen around the 340-byte mark here.

  3. ^ Appeared at DYK prior to my involvement.
  4. ^ Redirect I had created to an article I wrote.

  12. ^ Led to the creations of Fuccboi (novel) (mostly by theleekycauldron) and Fuccbois (mostly by HelenDegenerate), with me and Drmies as minority contributors and cheerleaders. I received DYK credit for my minority contributions to the former, but don't really feel I earned the topicon, and so instead will celebrate with a single ASCII question mark: ?
  13. ^ Work in progress.
  14. ^ Coäuthors are only noted on projects with a small number of contributors.
  15. ^ Mostly merged into MediaWiki in 2022 via translatewiki:.

Several things that make editing easier

The 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 functionaries telling me they hadn't heard of it till they read this.)

I use Twinkle, RedWarn, and 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 XFDCloser.

Three controversial opinions about Wikipedia

  1. 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.
  2. We should not allow BLPs about people who do not unambiguously meet 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.
  3. It's spelled "lede".

One lie I've told

I don't actually need a cetacean. I live quite close to a beach that dolphins routinely swim by. I have all the cetaceans I could ever need.

Three dolphins dive in the midground on the left, swimming toward the right of the frame. In the background on the right, a fairly large vehicle ferry sails toward the left of the frame. In the foreground, a beach of brown sand with some black rock outcroppings toward the waterline.
