Cassiopeia




Welcome to my user page. I create content, fight vandalism, review AfC and new pages submissions, serve as a NPP school, CVUA and new user mentor, and occasionally, I also do gnomish work. I have changed my username from all caps to sentence case - see here on March 18, 2020.

Hey Cassiopeia! You've been doing great work for the Wikipedia project, and haven't been recognized as much as you should have for your tedious, gnomish work here.

You practically are already doing admin work... Utopes (talk) 04:18, 5 November 2019 (UTC)
