favorite edit you ever made?
I don't have a specific favorite singular edit. If I did, it'd have to be the time I nominated 'David Joyner (business executive)' for deletion shortly after the killing of Brian Thompson. Whereas I could've waited for things to cool down, I didn't want to politick. This circulated around BlueSky, well-meaning people who didn't understand how we handle article inclusion brigaded the discussion, and some moron writing for Gizmodo accused me personally of being a paid CVS shill conspiring to hide Joyner's name (despite the fact that this name was proudly displayed on CVS' website as the first result in a search engine). The situation was just so stupid and made me lose some faith in Gizmodo's ability to do basic research.
Favorite series of edits? Definitely the time in 2021 I started a good article review for the article 'Marjorie Taylor Greene' and it got so out-of-hand that I ended up overhauling the entire thing because I kept finding problems (well outside the scope of a GA review). I thought it was really good by the time I was done, and it was really satisfying reading an article where MTG bitched at some local rally about her Wikipedia article – a sign I'd done something right.
These two examples aren't representative of my edits at all.
