I'm in the Bay.
I go by he/him pronouns. My name isn't Dora. I used to view TV shows (like Dora) daily during my childhood. I've since grown past those years. The Universe decided, a little too early into my life, that I was too old for Dora and introduced me to slasher. At eight, I went from watching a children's animated cartoon series to teenage campers gutted by a goaltender-mask-wearing maniac. Slasher took me into literature and writing; I wrote short horror fiction in my free time. My tutors seem to love some of it. I wouldn't be the kind of person I am today if not for my childhood and the username is my way of paying homage to Saturday night TV programs.
My interest is rather a niche; you could infer from my >20K edits. I mainly improve or create earthquake-related articles. I don't have a formal education qualification in geology or seismology. My interest developed over my slasher years (it had no influence) after feeling a few earthquakes back home in Myanmar in late 2012. I was a pre-teen, primary education kid, so I didn't understand anything, other than "the ground shook". Nevertheless, that was a mind-blowing experience. After gaining a basic idea about plate tectonics and earthquakes in high school geography classes, this interest really started kicking.
I joined Wikipedia in late July 2020 with the intention of making minor edits to the project. I had no plans of becoming an active contributor mainly because I didn't know how editing works. About a month later, I created my first article, an interesting 1946 doubled mainshock earthquake in Myanmar. I followed up by covering additional Burmese earthquake articles (1912 Maymyo, 1839 Ava, 1930 Bago, 1988 Myanmar–India, 1988 Lancang–Gengma, 2003 Taungdwingyi). Since then, I've been very active in the project.
The 1918 Shantou earthquake occurred in Shantou, Guangdong, Republic of China. Serious damage and high casualty numbers were reported in Guangdong and the surrounding provinces. It also caused some damage in colonial Hong Kong. (Full article...)
