Hey there! I’m Linnie. Thanks for stopping by!
I'm an administrator and New Article Booster here on wikiHow, and I’ve been a member of this community for roughly four years now. You’ll likely see me boosting new articles, patrolling recent changes, writing and editing articles on various topics, and categorizing articles, though I try my best to test out a variety of editing styles here.
Off-wiki, most of my time goes towards education at the moment, though some of my hobbies include drawing, playing volleyball, and both listening to and writing songs that outline my experience with major depression. If you couldn’t already tell, I have a fascination of dog breeds and enjoy researching them and sharing some of what I’ve learned in article form. Among other things, I also like mathematics (particularly geometry) and have quite the expansive collection of stuffed animals.
Never hesitate to leave me a message or email if I can be of assistance in any way! I promise I won’t bite - I’m always happy to help :)

Why do they contribute to wikiHow?
"I've been fascinated by the collaborative power of wikis since 2007. There's something amazing about working with people from all over the world, people with different backgrounds and life experiences. On wikiHow, we come together to achieve one common goal: to educate. Throughout my time on here, I've gained trust, respect, and even genuine real-world friendships. I never would have thought that making an account on a website and being a part of an online community would be such a rewarding experience that's impacted my life on so many levels. So after 11 years as a wikiHowian, you think I'm going to stop here? Not a chance."
Their advice to new editors:
"Stick with it. We all know it can be hard to know what to do when you're first starting out. If you think wikiHow is like Wikipedia... it's not. Over there, you might get overwhelmed by complicated guidelines and butt heads with other people because your edit went against their policies. But over here, we have one of the friendliest communities anywhere on the internet, and we try our best to create a supportive, open environment where it's easy to get involved. So don't be afraid to make an edit and ask for help when you need to. As long as you're open to learning how things work around here, I can guarantee you'll have the same positive and impactful experience I've had."
