Hi, I'm Victor. I have always enjoyed reading Wikipedia articles. When I noticed Wikipedia was run by volunteers, I decided to try editing. It's not that I never saw the "Wikipedia, the free online encyclopedia that anyone can edit" mantra—I just never gave it any thought. It's been said that most logged-in editors started editing as unregistered Wikipedians[1]— I'm an exception to that. In February 2022, I tried editing for the first time as an anon only to get the message that my IP address was blocked (lol). Few days after that, I created this account. I enjoy editing and I'm by no means an expert on any subject. Want to talk to me? Go to my talk page or email me.

My Alias Python Drink

I've always loved computers. In early 2019, I developed an interesting in computer programming.

It wasn't until 2021 though that I decided to create a funny kind-of-stupid alias for myself that would allude to this. Python Drink is a reference to the Python programming language and an allusion to my love for computer programming.

Formerly, I used the username Victor obini which is actually my real name. On June 9, 2022, my username change request from Victor obini to Python Drink was approved.

What I do on Wikipedia

I primarily make copy edits. Usually I search for articles centered around my interests (see infobox) daily to make copy edits. Full list below:

  • Copy edits
    • Correcting spelling, grammar, tense, etc
    • Fixing tone, for example, by removing vague words
    • Rewording sentences to make them easier to read
  • Adding references/citations if I can when I see unsourced content
  • Adding templates such as {{Citation needed}}, {{Clarify}}, etc, when appropriate
  • Wikilinking

Tip of the day

Navigate faster using Wikipedia shortcuts

Many of the pages in the Wikipedia namespace have specialized redirects called "shortcuts" that can be entered into the search box. Most shortcuts start with WP: followed by a capitalized abbreviation of the page name. Some common shortcuts are: WP:HELP, WP:WELCOME, WP:IMAGE, WP:5P, and of course, WP:TIP. A semi-complete list of shortcuts is available at Wikipedia:Shortcuts.

A shortcut can be used in the search box or in a link.

To jump to the talk page of a page with a shortcut, start with "WT:" instead of "WP:".
