I'm a British user who edits in various parts of Wikipedia. I have a deliberately meaningless username (pronounced approximately /zərɒktɪk/ / zər-OK-tihk in British English), which sounds a bit like Ancient Greek (which I do not know).

I created this account in May 2020, originally under the username CrimsonComputer, after my favourite shade of red and the topic area I would often edit in, but I renamed to my current username in October 2022. I became more active here from June 2023 onwards. I have no other accounts on Wikipedia; I had made several IP edits between 2017 and 2020 before creating this account.

Usual areas I edit in include:

• Redirect creating and categories (including sometimes on Commons)
• XfD (mostly MfD or RfD) nomimations
• The Deleted articles with freaky titles list and WP:Unusual articles
• The Simpsons
• Wikidata edits, mostly connecting entries with other websites
• Popular music (usually UK singles chart songs)

Less frequently, I may edit (or not as frequently as I used to):

• Computer or programming-related topics
• Languages, often tying in with edits on Wikifunctions or Wiktionary
• The Eurovision Song Contest
• Scientology
• Short descriptions
• Subtitling

While I have created several pages in mainspace, all of them were done as redirects.

A lot of my editing experience on wikis comes from a small-ish wiki known as the Scratch Wiki, about the Scratch programming language (the wiki is mentioned briefly in the article), where I used the username Jammum, which I had edited since late 2018. I am a form of partial-admin there known as an "Experienced Wikian", but I stopped actively editing since early 2024 to focus on Wikipedia and real life.

Some of my contributions on Wikipedia contain content that is not allowed on Scratch (specifically profanity and some nudity), so I do not mention this account on Scratch or related websites.

I also use the Xeroctic username on other wikis or wiki-like websites I edit less often: the Minecraft Wiki (minecraft.wiki), MusicBrainz, SecondHandSongs, and OpenStreetMap.

I also have an account on another wiki, which I have decided not to associate with my Wikipedia profile, and is not under this username.
