Kia ora koutou, I'm Nil

I'm a gaymer, cruciverbalist, fishkeeper, and a politics nerd, so you'll likely find me loitering in the articles around those topics, or wherever my next ADHD hyperfixation may take me...

In terms of content creation, my main area of focus recently has related to New Zealand music. That said, I have a habit of procrastinating the actual writing of articles by contributing in other areas of the project; I usually focus on one area for a few weeks before taking time out and averting my attention to another area, repeating ad infinitum until I return full circle.

You'll normally find me rotating between;

Patrolling the Recent Changes feed – if I mistakenly revert something you added in good faith, please accept my apologies in advance and feel free to re-add your contribution.
Contributing at WP:AFD – I mainly monitor noms sorted to NZ, music, musicians, and songs & albums.
Reviewing drafts at Articles for Creation – again, focus is mainly on music and NZ topics areas.

I've had this account for a while, but only started seriously editing this year. I have an old account from 2009/2010 (when I was in my early-teens) that I have long since lost the log-in for; I proceeded to make the occasional edit as an IP over the years before I finally got around to making this new account in 2022.

The following weren't created by me, but I made significant contributions to:

Stephen King (conservationist) – saved this from a PROD and expanded significantly.
Ben Ahlers
Ghost of Yōtei

My DYKs

A fact from the article Ben Ahlers, which this user created or significantly contributed to, was featured in the Did you know... section on the Main Page.

A fact from the article Sachi (band), which this user created or significantly contributed to, was featured in the Did you know... section on the Main Page.

A fact from the article Stephen King (conservationist), which this user created or significantly contributed to, was featured in the Did you know... section on the Main Page.

To do list:

My main focus currently is to create articles for many notable NZ musicians who don't have them yet. I'm also keen to one day get Reb Fountain up to GA status (even though, weirdly, I'm not a folk fan and am largely unfamiliar with her music...).

Extended content

To update:

Work through the List of Aotearoa Music Award categories to update as needed.
Improve Calito Soul; article has had issues with sockpuppetry, and I haven't had the opportunity to do a deep dive into some of the potentially useful sources that were reverted.

To create:

NZ Musicians/Artists:

Aotearoa Music Awards:

Silver Scrolls:

2018 – 2025
