Hello!
Name
BerylRoll is a portmanteau of "barrel roll", because despite that I have never played a StarFox game I love the meme, and "beryl", because I like beryls ever since they were the only decent worldbuilding element in the deeply flawed narrative of Subnautica 2.
Wiki experience
Been editing wikis since I was some 15, mainly on TVTropes. Have/Had multiple accounts since I always forgot my passwords and it used to be easier to make a new account than figuring out my password because there was no email verification. I'm quite proud of most of my work there, probably Poe's "Ulalume" the most just because I think I did a decent job making a poem accessible that has historically been joked about as being one many liked but few understood (down to literally being used as "You like Poe? Prove that by explaining "Ulalume").
Work
- I decided to make an account because of the typos I encountered while reading through the wiki and I thought I could help fix them. (No insult intended. This wiki has text you'd need months to all read, and that's if you read at optimum efficiency, so typos are just bound to happen.)
- I also started an account to get a little more attention on the CBS pitch.
- I guess I found my niche working on Beast Wars II coverage. I have a quaint fondness for the series. It's very elegant and probably did the most with transformation (scan-bombing, scanning another TF, scanning vs downloading, creature mode, alt mode favoritism, etc.) of any TF show.
- I know the basics of Japanese and am roughly familiar with Japanese dominant culture of the 20th Century (not particularly relevant to TF, but I love the '90s Occult Boom), so I can help out there.
- I like crosslinking and cleaning up redirects (if proper).
