Welcome!

I am an aspiring solar system astronomer and planetary scientist, currently beginning my undergraduate study in astrophysics. I mainly specialize in minor planets, comets and moons, but I sometimes dabble in exoplanets, brown dwarfs, and neutron stars too. Outside of Wikipedia, I do minor planet precovery/recovery work for the Minor Planet Center and Central Bureau for Astronomical Telegrams as an additional hobby, producing over 70 MPECs and 6 CBETs since 2020. I've also named an asteroid after a YouTuber (10003 Caryhuang). Isn't that neat?

I joined Wikipedia in February 2019 and made my first edits to Hippocamp (moon), a Neptunian moon that just got named at the time. Now, my main activities on Wikipedia include expanding and completing articles up to Good Article (GA) status, keeping important lists (i.e. Moons of Jupiter) up to date, and creating new articles on new discoveries or other interesting astronomical objects. As of January 2023, I've written at least 15 articles that got promoted to GA status, albeit most of these were written before 2020, when I was less experienced. These old GAs are now fairly outdated and I don't have the motivation to rewrite these unfortunately. Beyond this, I occasionally make typo corrections and small updates to minor planet and comet articles on Wikipedia. When I get bored enough, I turn to creating userboxes and decorating my user page with them. My custom userboxes are listed at User:Nrco0e/Userboxes; feel free to use them for your own user page!

I'm only active here intermittently. Do not expect me to immediately respond to talk page interaction or article maintenance here. If there are urgent matters and concerns about my decisions, please do message me in my talk page or ping me elsewhere with the template ((ping|Nrco0e)). I'm open to feedback about my actions, so please do let me know if I've made a mistake!

I adhere to the Wiki philosophy of being bold and ignoring the rules when necessary. If you're gonna add something within the lines of original research (not cruft hopefully), do still go for it—as long it clarifies the content more and you have the proper sources to support and justify it.[original research]

What does my username mean?

It means nothing. It's just a random keysmash of letters that I came up with on the spot when I was creating my Wikipedia account back in 2019. (so ingenious am I right?)

Wiki writing tips

  • Write for the sake of explaining a genuinely interesting topic, not for a lengthy "good" article. 
  • Focus on clarity and conciseness, not length. What I did to 2018 VG18 is the epitome of how to not write a good Wikipedia article—it's too inflated with trivial and wordy details. (Maybe I should WP:BLOWITUP...)
  • If you get stuck thinking about how to word a specific sentence, replace it with simple terms as a temporary placeholder, and then continue on with the rest of the paragraph. You can revisit that sentence later.
  • Avoid unnecessary trivial details (i.e. listing out an asteroid's location, constellation, brightness, and speed at the time of discovery. Nobody needs to know that, nor would they care about it.)
  • Organize your code and wikimarkup formatting consistently. I highly recommend using spaces to separate parameters for templates and tables, especially if they're large.
  • Please please please put all your references in the ((reflist|refs= )) under the References section and define each reference with a refname. I seriously can't stand editing when there's a huge mess of citation and ref templates in the way like this: This is an example.<ref>((cite web|title=Example|url=example.com|date=2009-09-09|accessdate=2015-07-14))</ref><ref>((cite web|title=Example1|url=example.com|date=2005-04-20|accessdate=2019-01-01))</ref><ref>((cite web|title=Example3|url=example.com|date=2009-09-09|accessdate=2015-07-14))</ref>
  • Copy and save your wiki draft to a .txt file. I cannot emphasize this enough—please save your work as you can easily lose progress in the website editor because of a dead battery, power outage, or accidentally closing the tab.
  • Most importantly, just have fun!

Other Wiki notes

  • If you're going to add artist's impressions of astronomical objects and phenomena, make sure it is scientifically accurate, comes from a reliable source, and follows guidelines on WP:ASTROART!
    • NO AI UPSCALING ALLOWED!!! That simply takes away the real data and authenticity of the original image!
