On anger

I think some of us have a really angry inner voice that we harness for motivation. I guess we figure if we're right, it should be okay to yell. It is a deeply misguided assumption that motivates no one and garners very negative results.

Hi, I'm Fluffernutter. You may or may not know that a fluffernutter is a sandwich, but it's a fact and it's where my name comes from. In my volunteer time I am largely a wanderer and a wikignome - you might find me reading through anything from the history of Hugo Award winners (and fixing grammar where I spot errors) to the complete succession of the British Monarchy (and reverting vandalism I find there). Most of the articles I've written are in the domain of famous criminal cases, and many of them are of GA (or above) quality, but writing an article is slow, exacting work for me and tends to come and go as my attention allows. Outside of those article-focused times, the majority of my edits are little things that please my inner cleanup gnome: copyediting, cleaning up reference errors, and locking on to a particularly neglected category (like Women's History) to do a variety of bits and pieces to help.

Most Wikimedians call me "Fluffy" or "Fluff" ("Fluffer", which might seem like easy shorthand, is actually a very NSFW name indeed to call someone), but I also answer to my real name, Karen (though I'm so used to being referred to as a sandwich that "Karen" is less likely to catch my attention!).
