Hi there! I'm Purplemountainman. I edit Wikipedia occasionally, and I started in March 2019. I created an account when one day, I was browsing the article Android version history, and I noticed something that I wanted to fix. But, the page was protected for the people who haven't signed into Wikipedia. At that time I didn't feel like setting up an account nor giving out my IP address. Then, after half a year later, I finally decided to make an account. I used to (and still do) edit articles related to tropical cyclones (mainly the Atlantic hurricane season articles), but now I edit articles when I'm browsing through Wikipedia and see fixes I can make. I make a few mistackes ;) along the way. If I make one, please don't hesitate to correct it and tell me in the edit summary in your edit, or on my talk page. My contributions are here, and you can view the few pages I've created here. Also, if you have any questions, feel free to leave a message on my talk page!

A few topics I'm interested in are: anything related to technology (like computers, phones, and video), mathematics, tropical cyclones, and geography.

Finding stubs and making them grow

A stub is an article that provides at least a basic definition but does not go much beyond it. It may not be the perfect article yet, but each stub should have the potential to become one. See Wikipedia:Find or fix a stub for ways to locate stubs. For example, click what links here on that same page, or on Template:Stub (the stub notice).

Still not enough stubs? Then try Wikipedia:Requests for page expansion, or set the threshold for stub display in your user Preferences. That option sets a number of characters threshold value. Links to articles with fewer characters are shown in dark red. This makes it very easy to spot stubs. If the stub notice is a generic notice consider sorting the stub into a stub category.

Emphasis


Don't use capital letters for emphasis; where wording alone can't provide the emphasis, use italics.
