Iothiania isn't good at writing intros about herself, but does enjoy writing in third person. She started editing/contributing on October 30, 2004, and goes by the nickname "Iotha". Her real name is Elizabeth, and is a mathematics student at the University of British Columbia. Much of her contributions are of a copy editing nature. She spends a great deal of time reading Wikipedia articles, but generally edits on a rather sporadic basis.
Other contributions
I have started a small number of articles; some examples would be:
I have created a few userboxes, such as ((User:Iothiania/Template:SD2)) and ((User:Iothiania/Template:User IB Alum)).
I also took the photograph and labeled Image:Fencingsabre.jpg.
Wiki-philosophy
I would consider myself to be an Essentialist. I think that articles on academic subjects such as science and history ought to be of a higher priority than popular culture ones (anime, new music, etc). As such, I tend to edit more "academic" articles, but I certainly won't stop myself from editing a pop article if I see something that needs work. On matters of deletion, I generally favour mergism. I think there's a lot of information in the world that merits being in an encyclopedia, but not nearly as much information that merits an article of its own.
