Millennials coined the word “adulting” to describe mundane acts of grown-up self-sufficiency.

Me in Wikipedia Most of my day-to-day edits are in response to changes I see in my watchlist. I repair vandalism and spam, tweak new additions, and respond to talk page comments. When time permits I copyedit, do WikiGnome stuff, and respond to edit requests—if you're a friendly and capable person, Wikipedia really needs your help on that last job.
Other stuff 80,000 Hours has advice about how to do the most good in your career. Givewell identifies the most cost-effective charities. Clearer Thinking can help you become a more effective person.
For repeated demonstration of academic level insight, and encylopedic rigor on bioscience pages. NickCT (talk) 15:02, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
