Cannabis Indica

I make a lot of minor edits and do general copy editing. I sometimes, albeit rarely, participate in talk pages. When I do, my posts tend to be prolix. If you see a lot of green bytes with my username attached to it, that is probably me either filling out some citations or posting a talk page message. Though I may be frustrating at times, please go easy on me and remember that I have the best intentions in mind. If any edit of mine appears to be mistaken or incorrect, let me know; I invite criticism, which informs and improves my editing.

As a note, my precisionism is descriptive, not prescriptive. I do not always behave like a precisionist, nor should one expect me to be arguing from a precisionist perspective.

If you mention me anywhere in a discussion, please be sure to notify me. This is especially appreciated if I am not in the discussion, if the discussion is about me, and you do not have good reason to believe I am already aware of it. Thank you.

How to add hidden editor notes in an article

Have you ever needed to post an important message to all editors about an article, on the article itself, but thought it would stick out like a sore thumb and ruin the article if you did? Are you reverting many edits on an article because editors just aren't seeing the important message or special instructions on the talk page?

The solution is that you can insert hidden text in the article! That way, only the people editing the page will see your message! Here is how to insert a hidden comment:

  1. First, begin the comment by typing <!--
  2. Once you have done that, type what you need the editors to read
  3. Then, end the comment by typing -->

Once you have completed those 3 easy steps, you won't be reverting as many mistakes!

For example, the following hidden comment has been used in the Meaning of life article, in the Popular views section:

<!--Please do not add 42 in this section. It is covered under the section titled "Popular culture treatments". Thank you.-->

Some more examples of pages that have hidden messages include:
