User:The High Fin Sperm Whale

My name is Timmy, and I live in Montreal, Quebec, where I am studying physics and chemistry at McGill University. I have a quite wide variety of interests, which along with irl responsibilities, prevent me from actively contributing as much as I used to. I still respond to messages and make occasional edits though.

One thing that really annoys me on Wikipedia is when a poor newbie makes a new page or adds some text to an article, or course without having an understanding of

Another thing to remember is that editors are valuable. They are not expendable. I see it happen so often that people get pestered for every little mistake, while not being given credit for all the work and time they put into this place. It's really sad when someone spends a year learning the ropes and starts really doing great work, then someone carelessly insults them and they leave Wikipedia forever. Keep in mind that editors can leave at any time and if pushed, they will.

This section is too short. Please help Wikipedia this user by expanding it.
