Welcome to the user page of Mr Acid the Harassment Campaigner!

I'm an on-again off-again kind of editor, but I can really sink my jaws into some articles here. I've created and heavily revised a number of articles here, and have also created a variety of userboxes. I did a lot of work some time ago building out the Toastmasters International article, and while it's been some time since I worked on it, I'm proud of the state I brought it to, and of the work by other editors in maintaining the quality I brought to it. My main focus now on Wikipedia involves software development and video game topics, although I'm also likely to lurk in administrative spaces (as much as I don't want to be an admin, I'm still interested in the processes and how I can help improve the site through them.)

I have my

about how verifiability should be balanced with truth, instead of strictly overriding it.
