My name is Tamzin Hadasa Kelly. Yes, Tamzin is a real name, pronounced /ˈtæmzɪn/ in most American accents. I take she / her, they / them, or xe / xem pronouns. I live in Cape May County, New Jersey.

I am, first and foremost, an editor here. Over the years, I've taken on a few additional roles, including administrator, sockpuppet investigations clerk, bot operator ('zinbot), and global renamer.

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.

Notes

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.

Here are all the scripts I'm using. I especially recommend User:Wugapodes/Capricorn, User:PleaseStand/userinfo.js, and User:Writ Keeper/Scripts/massRollback.js (requires rollback).

// General // [[m:MoreMenu]]: Whole bunch of useful buttons mw.loader.using(['mediawiki.util', 'mediawiki.api'], function () { mw.loader.load('https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/?title=MediaWiki:Gadget-MoreMenu.enwiki.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript'); }); // [[WP:JWB]] mw.loader.load('//en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User:Joeytje50/JWB.js/load.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript'); // [[User:SD0001/deleted-metadata-link.js]]: See metadata of deleted pages importScript('User:SD0001/deleted-metadata-link.js'); // Mainspace-oriented // [[User:Dr pda/prosesize.js]]: Get a page's prose wordcount importScript('User:Dr pda/prosesize.js'); // [[User:Andy M.

Here's how I've messed with my CSS. If you do template work, I strongly recommend the bit that sets all the -show classes to visible.

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.
