Cassiopeia




Welcome to my user page. I create content, fight vandalism, review AfC and new pages submissions. I serve as a NPP school and CVUA trainer/instructor and new user mentor, and occasionally, I also do gnomish work. I have changed my username from all caps to sentence case - see here on March 18, 2020. I have a mild condition called Irlen Syndrome - see HERE so I don't see texts like normal people. Feel free to correct the grammatical mistakes in the edits I have made.

    Hey Cassiopeia! You've been doing great work for the Wikipedia project, and haven't been recognized as much as you should have for your tedious, gnomish work here. Whether it be through AfC, AfD, and draftification, in which I have encountered you numerous times throughout each, thanks for being a great user! Now, when are you going to apply RfA? You practically are already doing admin work... Utopes (talk) 04:18, 5 November 2019 (UTC)
