Hellow, I'm Arconning!(he/she/they/xe, you pick!) I strive to write those Olympic-participation articles... (See Philippines at the 1924 Summer Olympics, now FA)! Besides that, I'm also active in the music corner of Wikipedia, having written and made Yaelokre a GA, alongside Laufey (singer). I dabble into a little bit of everything so if you'd like to collaborate, let me know. :)

If you want to reach me, you can always message me on my talk page. I'm also very active on the Wikimedia Discord, which I would suggest folks join for the ease it brings to collaboration and sharing sources! P.S... I thank Generalissima for letting me use her layout as inspiration!
