Welcome to my page, my fellow Wikipedians.
Hello!
editI am Tara and I am from India. It was a random article with some spelling mistakes that led me to create an account here. Since then, I have learned a lot. And now I mostly look for and create articles that are not already present.
Username
editIf you're wondering how my username came to be, it is a juxtaposition of my initials T and E, my partner's name, and some letters from the name of Aime Cesaire, on whose teachings I wrote my first-ever thesis on back in 2008. If I had more knowledge about how these work, I'd have used my full name instead.
Editing Habits
editI do not concentrate on editing existing articles unless there is wrong information in it. My focus is on creating new articles. I only come here on weekends and holidays. On weekdays, I am mostly working on my day job which I use to make ends meet. I am a professor of Literature at the IGNOU currently shuffling between Delhi, Mumbai, and Bangalore.
Stub Creator
editI would like to call myself a stub creator as I hardly expand the articles that I write. Another perspective to this habit is that if a subject is fairly popular universally, it will expanded by fellow Wikipedians, which is very good thing. Although the concept of a good article fascinates me.
Lurker
editI often read articles about policies here on Wikipedia. While I do not support some of them, I try to follow them while creating articles. If you find that I am not, please let me know. I will fix it.
Thoughts on WP:N
editMy single mantra when I create an article is to see if the subject can be described in a single sentence and still be notable. Exempli gratia:
- Radhakishan Damani - Billionaire and owner of India's largest hypermarket chain.
- Fidget Cube - One of the highest crowdfunded and most successful projects.
See? For me, it works that way. I focus on almost all topics, with special interest in literature and international current affairs.
Articles to be Created
editThis a list of articles that I intend to create sometime in future. Most of these are already notable enough, so feel free to create them if you get time.
