ELEVEN YEARS SLEEPING and, since becoming active in 2024, coming to 1000 edits in a year. Mostly content, added to herbicide articles, rather than nitpicking grammar, spelling or similar.

14 April 2024 I am coming back. (I made this account when my age was in single digits)

^I've kept the childhood bio.

My job is to formulate agricultural chemicals, mainly herbicides and pesticides. Regrettably, I cannot cite "I saw it and it's orange bro", for I've worked with several of the chemicals listed below. Disclosure: I work for a company making herbicides. I'm not paid a cent for anything I write here, and my boss doesn't know I do this, and I work in production. Let alone handling anything related to publicity, I've never even met a customer. So, I'm pretty sure that wikipedia's rules on "Paid Editing" don't apply (I am not paid) but I'm putting this up anyway.

Pages

A list of herbicide pages I made or wrote large amounts of:

Non pesticide pages

Some other pages that I didn't do enough on to list them: oryzalin, dichlobenil, napropamide and nitrofen. Drafting User:RustyOldShip/List of herbicides by MoA

Notes

^ Slapdashed and sloppy in initial revision, as I was bothered by and protesting editors who continually make pedantic or insignificant edits but never add or change any significant content.
^ C-Class. Spent months being re-submitted on AfC because the title was wrong in a pedantic way
^ ^a ^b detailed
^ there is basically no info whatsoever on this SOB other than it exists
^ also no info
^ First article I wrote, after formulating it at a chemical plant and seeing it had no wikipedia page at all. Same reason I later created carfentrazone's and diflufenican's pages.
^ Detailed, I worked a lot with this one IRL and it's my favourite. By far the most detailed page of the dinitroanilines.
^ Obscure insecticide, but a damn good name. I use it (and other pesticides) for naming inspiration when writing fiction, and the battlefield of Triprene starts the novel I labour at.

^{Technically so long, even if for 10 of those years I averaged 3 years per edit.}
