Tokyogirl79 (talk | contribs)I've been editing since 2006, but most heavily in the last few years. I'm currently a MLIS student at Drexel University, where I'm majoring in digital archiving. My favorite editing subjects tend to be film, pop culture, and literary related topics, but I've edited on a semi-wide variety of themes. I'm good at starting articles and finding sources. 
Josve05a (talk | contribs)Hi, my name is Jonatan, but here on Wikipedia (and sistersites) I'm known under the pseudonym and username Josve05a. I am currently attending my second year studying Social Sciences at an Upper Secondary School in Sweden. Feel free to ask me questions regarding policies, guidelines, the Articles for Creation (AfC)-process or about copyright, or anything else for that matter, and I'll try and answer them as best as I can. I am also a helper on our helpchannel on IRC; #wikipedia-en-help connect (just press connect, or read the disclaimer first). 
Kikichugirl (talk | contribs)Hi, I'm Kiki! I'm a (hippo-loving) psychology major and music minor studying in Claremont, Calif. I've been on Wikipedia on and off for two years and counting, so I'm happy to help! I'm most active in Articles for Creation, and I volunteer at the irc help channel whenever I have time, so I'm experienced with helping newbies. I also do some maintenance tasks, New Page Patrol, and the like. And, I do know a little bit of Python, if that's important. I am most active in the summer months where I am not contending with exams, but feel free to drop me a note at my talk page if you need me!

Steven Crossin (talk | contribs)Hi, I'm Steve. I'm a Wikipedian from Victoria, Australia and have been editing Wikipedia since 2008. Most of my tasks on Wikipedia revolve around helping other users work out their differences (called dispute resolution), helping out new users learn how to use Wikipedia (often referred to as adoption) and making improvements to articles. Like all of us, I was once new, and understand the complexity of Wikipedia and how daunting it can seem when you first join. Feel free to contact me if I can help you with anything.

Gobonobo (talk | contribs)Hi! I'm Gobonobo and I've been a Wikipedian since 2006.

I would particularly welcome students from the courses related to these fields. 
Yunshui (talk | contribs)Hi, I'm Yunshui. I spend most of my time on Wikipedia working in administrative areas or helping new users, so I'm well-practiced at explaining our (often arcane) policies and practices to neophytes. Inexperienced editors can sometimes get a rough ride as they deal with the steep learning curve here; I try, where possible, to smooth out the bumps. I also spend a lot of time deleting inappropriate content - the flipside being that I have a good grasp of what will and won't get deleted, and can help students make the necessary tweaks to avoid their work being binned.

I've supported 3 courses at Alverno College as a Campus Ambassador and several courses at schools ranging from Georgetown to University of Washington as an Online Ambassador. My background is in economics but I love articles on any subject.

I have interest in a wide range of subjects, specially the following: a) Biographies, b) India (History (specially Vedic period) and any achievement in any field) c) West Bengal (Culture of Bengal, places, Bengali films, Bengali theatre, famous people) d) Bangladesh (Culture of Bangladesh, Bangladeshi theatre, history of Bangladesh (till 1980)) e) Hinduism (Deities, concepts, topics related to Swami Vivekananda, Ramakrishna etc).

 Serendipodous (talk | contribs)Hello, my name is Serendipodous; I have been an editor of Wikipedia since 2004, primarily focusing on planetary subjects, though I have also dabbled in other things as you can see from my vanity page.
