Hey, I'm Taffer (also known as Larry, Tiffany, and (Personal attack removed) according to various editors, none of which are my name). I mostly do janitor work such as reverting vandalism and unconstructive edits, but I sometimes bounce around trying to clean up articles, remove unreliable sources, etc. My main area of focus is on cleaning up mentions of and articles about transgender people to comply with policies on gender identity.

I'm not an expert on anything and I don't always make the right call, so feel free to leave a message on my talk page if I've made an edit you disagree with, I'll get back to you the next time I log in. If you have a question about editing, you'll probably get better and quicker answers over at the teahouse. Thanks 😊

(Whether I'm working on them in any kind of timely manner is another story)

• Patrolling recent changes - Mainly monitoring for edits with "mass pronoun change" or "possible vandalism" tags.
• LGBT phrases to be avoided (essay by me) - Removing inappropriate instances of the following phrases:
  • "Identifies as" - Search (At June 20, 2025)
  • "Transperson" - Search (At July 10, 2025)
  • "Transgendered" - Search (At July 10, 2025)
  • "Biological (wo)man" - Search (At July 10, 2025)
• Nowiki'd apostrophes as double quotation marks - An odd behavior with the visual editor that I assume is related to non-English keyboards. If I knew how to do bot stuff it'd probably be easy to automate. Search
