Introduction

Hey I'm a Wikipedian, and my username is Wolverine XI (previously 20 upper). I spend most of my time on Wikipedia editing articles about animals because I find the animal kingdom to be so fascinating. I'm particularly fascinated by fish, birds, reptiles, and some invertebrates, but mammals are my favorite subject matter. As a niche editor, I don't often edit entries that fall outside of my expertise. You can get in touch with me and I'll see what I can do if there is an animal article that needs to be improved. Although felines are my favorite animals, there are plenty of well-recognized felid articles, so I don't think any of them need to be improved.

About me

My real name is Kevin, and I was regrettably^{[ sarcasm]} born between 1997 and 2012, which puts me in the Generation Z age range of 12–27. As you are already aware, I have a strong love for animals. I won't get into too much detail, instead I'll let my work speak for itself. I have so far contributed to a few excellent articles (the number will undoubtedly increase over time), and when I am getting an article ready for GA or FA, I usually wind up making numerous copy edits.

2018 is the year I started utilising Wikipedia; before then, I primarily used books and a few TV shows to find my answers. Since then, I've been a frequent user of Wikipedia. I had no desire to alter the site, until I discovered that Wikipedia was lacking an article on Megaherbivores. I made a change to a specific page at 12:15 on October 2, 2022, before opting to register my Wikipedia account on November 18, 2022. Thomson's gazelle was the first article I edited under my account. I had some difficulties in the first few months, but I overcame them and am now glad to assist.

My wikiphilosophy is to take part in a variety of procedures while concentrating on a single topic at first. The Wikipedia processes in which I am involved, or would like to be involved, are content creation, semi-automated editing, new page patrolling, AFD, GA & FA processes, and aiding others at Teahouse/Help Desk. I make an effort to be as respectful as possible, so I would expect you to reciprocate. I'll be here for the long haul and could linger for more than 20 years. I've never attended a Wikimania, and I'm currently too busy to do so, but I'd like to go one day.

Why the name?

You might be wondering, "Why Wolverine XI?" Allow me to share my story with you. Let's talk about the first component of the name: Wolverine. I chose this animal because it has the grit and tenacity to chase wolves and even grizzlies from their kills. I adore how rare it is, but it only goes to show how the wolverine punches way above its weight. I also admire the wolverine's opportunistic nature; in this life, you have to seize the chances that present themselves. Let us examine the second portion of the name: XI. So, in Roman numerals, XI represents the number 11. I chose the number 11 for three reasons: first, I made my account in the eleventh month of the year; second, the FIFA World Cup eventually made it to South Africa on June 11, 2010, which was highly deserved; and third, Jeremiah 29:11 is my favorite verse from the Bible. Because the Romans executed Jesus on the cross—the single most significant event in human history—I decided to use Roman numerals. Unlike my prior username, which I used for more than 14 months, my current username has meaning. Thank you for listening to my story.
