About Me
Hi there! I found wikiHow in June 2007 while googling about curly hair. I love to correct spelling or grammar and add my $0.02 to how-to's. Whenever I learn something new I like to write an article about it. :)



I have gone by a lot of names while on wikiHow... I started out with the username "Waterlily16", but I later changed it to "Whimaway". I used to go by the pseudonym "Ally F", when I was very cautious about protecting my identity online, but I have changed my real name to my actual name: "Sarah Eliza." Sometimes my friends call me Sarah, SE, Sliza, or Saráh.

The 52 articles I have started have been read 21,047,130 times.

I have patrolled 45,587 edits during my time on wikiHow.

I have been a wikiHow admin since August 28 th , 2008.
