56independent is a Wikipedia user, who enjoys making Wikipedia a better place for all.

I wish to help Wikipedia when I can, like when I find a sentence that does, not flow correctly, I find vandalism ^{Skool sucks!}, find a page with a missing link, see sloppey speling, or notice alarming amounts of naughty, evil bias, the worst thing in the world.

I own my own server, and use it to host many things. due to this, I have more experience with DokuWiki syntax. I may make simple errors here. sorry! i was raised with namespaces/directories and not categories, // instead of whatever '' is.

I took part in the Wikipedia project because it is huge. I do, however, find that some aspects are disorienting. One such example is the sheer size and amount of recent edits per minute. There are upwards of 1 articles, and for me to be a volunteer in the upkeep of this vast library is amazing.

Because i have ADHD and Autism, these two things contribute to my life being an organised mess. I'll do one thing and then get distracted doing other things. Also, i might dive into wikipedia and edit it for days at a time before launching away.

Sé solo poco Español, pero yo estudiar el idioma y quiero hablar más bueno. Ahora, no hablo Catalan, pero (o però :p) quiero estudiar Catalan porque vivo en Cataluña y la idioma es muy importante para vivir aquí.

Current Projects[edit]

Below are my current projects:

• Figuring out how to extend Wikipedia articles
• Citing and proofreading
• Vandalism removal
• Translation of Spanish pages into English using the tool from the toolbox below

As a 16-year-old, I feel it would be prudent to make money. Since I am living in Spain and absorbing the language at an ever-increasing rate, I have decided to select translation. Because I have basically no experience apart from one tiny translation ^[1] (COI: I love Advtrains and would love to write a wiki page about it, but first I have to convince newspapers to write about it), I have decided I will begin to take up Wikipedia translation to gain experience on the subject. Expect to see short, stubby English articles for Spanish things being extended.

Note: This should not be a COI violation as I am not directly being paid for extending Wikipedia articles, only indirectly through having a portfolio and experience. The entire goal of this is to improve my translation skills and experience and write "Expanded >50 English encyclopaedia articles from Spanish encyclopaedia articles through a remote editing interface" on my CV.

Eventually, i would like to branch out to extending Catalan and Spanish Wikipedia from English as i slowly approach C1 level. Other edits, such as vandalism control or grammar checking can contribute to my CV as well.

Translation Project Pages[edit]

I am learning Spanish and would like to put it to use. My aim is a few sections per day.

Here are some pages i made:

Languages[edit]

Babel boxes off to the side here do not talk about CEFR ratings or history. Let's now, in chronological order.

Adding Wikipedia to your CV[edit]

Don't just say "i volunterred fur wikipedia pls hire me", be creative! Why not try one of these carefully-selected examples?

• "Worked for x period on improving encyclopedia articles as an unpaid contributor, gaining experience in technical writing, citations, and markup syntax"
• "Spent x period volunteering to various encyclopedic articles, using technical writing, citation, and markup syntax skills"
• "Placed y amount of edits to various articles in the world's biggest online encyclopedia, using technical writing and research skills to help improve volunteer reliability"

And if you get a barnstar, you can also do this:

• "Has achieved rewards for volunteering to the world's biggest encyclopedic project"
• "Achieved acclaim for value of my copyedits on a large encyclopedia, including citating, writing in formal tone, and using markup syntax.

Toolbox[edit]

This section is where i keep templates, external links, and pages.
