Wikipedia editor, who was insane enough to make over 7,000 edits
I am going to disclose that I am a volunteer contributor to this project, and as such my views are my own and may not necessarily reflect the views of the
Wikimedia Foundation or the broader community. However, both aforementioned entities are still free to sanction me.

The mysterious 3PPYB6
[edit]
I am no-one but a mere editor on this giant wiki who makes a couple of edits. Well… one who has made at least 8,002 of them. It's OK if you aren't there yet. Experience takes time.
What can I do? The question of all questions
[edit]
Well, to put it simply… a lot! The community portal has tons of things for you to do, from fixing simple grammar mistakes to correcting original research! The recent changes list shows edits that have been recently made, and some of them may be vandalism, of which you can play a part in fixing!
Once you reach 4 days and 10 edits, you can edit semi-protected articles and move pages, and once you get enough experience, you can start doing critical tasks such as selecting main page content! Time and experience sure will take you a long way!
Otherwise, you would have to flag me as a bot and disable me in areas other than the userspace until I can be trusted to run without bugs in the mainspace! But in all seriousness, I am first and foremost a person. As such, I am no exception to human error that occasionally editors fall victim to and I may make a few honest mistakes when editing. If I reverted an edit of yours that you think I shouldn't have done or you think I've come across as too aggressive (spoiler alert: I probably did it by mistake or on accident) please let me know, either by replying on your talk page or by posting on mine. If you still find something that I did that was wrong, please let me know on my talk page—I'm happy to discuss it and many times I am, in fact, in the wrong.
When on article talk pages, I usually ping the participants in question. I also leave {{please see}} notices on other talk pages that may be interested in such a discussion.
When you write a message on my talk page, expect me to answer within 100 hours. Usually I get to you within 10 hours, or even 30 minutes if I am wiki-drunk. If I do not answer you, assume I am without internet access, in a wiki-lull, or consumed by real life to the maximum. When I reply to you, I usually ping you to let you know I've responded (please let me know if you've disabled pings, so I can leave a {{talkback}} notice if need be).
I take a more liberal/progressive approach to dealing with new users, as Wikipedia needs new experience (we were all new once!); this occasionally leads to me falling for sockpuppets or LTAs. If you find out I have fallen victim of such folly, feel free to trout me or give me a long lecture on dealing with new users.
Find details at User:3PPYB6/Contact. Otherwise you may simply leave a new talk page message for me, which is usually the fastest way to get to me.
