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

The fastest way to end a conflict: walk away

Edit warring is bad, especially when idea exchange has stopped and is replaced by reverting edits. Not good, as it disrupts Wikipedia and wastes resources. Wikipedia's main resource is the time and effort that you and other Wikipedians devote to contributions. Edit warring is like a game of tic-tac-toe: once you know how to play, nobody ever wins. Edit warring is worse, though, because it can go on indefinitely and can get you banned.

The solution? Chill out and relax. Go edit somewhere else on Wikipedia for a few days; Wikipedia has millions of nice and quiet pages to work on. Meanwhile, you may think of a solution that everyone will be happy with which you can bring to the talk page. When you come back, stay calm and keep your involvement in the dispute on the talk page. Others who refuse to do so will answer for it eventually.

Building consensus is the Wikipedia way of resolving disputes, as continued discussion brings new possibilities and positive solutions to light. Think "What if we..."
