User:Gilgamesh~enwiki
Another amateur linguist, formerly active at User:Gilgamesh~enwiktionary. Mostly good at doing Wiktionary entries for proper names and foreign language words in a translative capacity. I have an autism-related communications handicap that makes it more difficult for me to do English Wiktionary entries that require clarity in layman's terms.
I occasionally indulge in user page projects. They are always informal and not intended to be used as an accredited reference. In the past I have made many projects that have been incomplete and abandoned, or gone stale and no longer reflect the kind of academic quality I would expect from myself, and I have since wiped many of them.
