About me[edit]

My name is Lianne. I was born and still live in Winnipeg, Manitoba. I have a Bachelor of Computer Science (Honours) degree with co-op option and a minor in philosophy from the University of Manitoba, and a diploma in Library and Information Technology from Red River College. Hobbies of mine include studying languages (currently French), dancing, playing the piano, reading, triathlon, and playing Ingress. Some of my favourite tv shows are all the Star Trek series, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Charmed, The Office, Flight of the Conchords, and Firefly. I love everything from the 90s, except grunge music. I'm autistic.

Mostly, I copyedit on Wikipedia. I occasionally participate in the backlog elimination drives with the Guild of Copy Editors. I've spent a fair bit of time learning the Manual of Style. Next I plan to learn more about wikification.

You can help improve Wikipedia by copy editing a random article that needs copy editing!
