Hi! I'm Iseult. I hang around here when I'm not supposed to be working or spending time with people offline. Usually, I gnome in various ways; lately, this has taken the form of new page patrol and discussion closing (I like contributing in the background), though in the past I've been much more active on the anti-vandal front. This is also an excuse to avoid working on article expansion, which I keep telling myself, with good reason, takes up a lot more uninterrupted free time than I have. In general, so far as articles are concerned, I'm interested in elections, classical music, and war. Unfortunately, with regards to music, most of what I'd like to add to existing articles would constitute original research. What is understood, taught, and applied in classical music often differs in breadth from what is and can be published.

If you'd like to raise a question, concern, comment, or complaint about my edits or life, leave a message.

My shinies are here.

Things I'm proud of

Marian reforms. After reading, on r/AskHistorians, about how the Marian reforms, contrary to popular thought, didn't exist as such, I found an old comment on the talk page, proposed a rewrite/restructure of the article to the editor who had made that comment and helped, in my small ways, shepherd the article on its path to GA. Full credit to Ifly6 for the hard work.
Talk:1924 retreat from Chaoen#Casualties in the infobox. Resolved, following a request to WP:3O, a dispute involving numbers. While this isn't the first time I've emailed people for Wikipedian purposes, the material Professors Quiroga and Macías graciously sent me proved interesting and made me crack open the former's new biography of Primo de Rivera. While researching, a page move proved necessary. Also, resolving a dispute is always rewarding.
Eric Kim (food writer): who knew that the person who started the gochujang-in-everything trend didn't have much in the way of independent coverage? Eric has said that PR prefers people to do podcast/TV hits instead of print, which makes my job harder (has a podcast ever issued a correction?)

To-dos

Finish cleanup of Wikipedia:WikiProject_AI_Cleanup/Noticeboard/Archive_3#h-Sascho_Jovanoski_70329-20260101220100. I spotted this on NPP, raised this on Discord, which brought in the cavalry.
Copy-edit Battle of Amiens (1918); hopefully later I'll restore its GA status.
Hobbs Act expansion and clarification.
Piano Trio No. 2 (Shostakovich) expansion with offline sources which I have scanned. This is time-consuming owing to have to dig through my files, but I need to do this before my laptop dies with said files on them. I don't easily have access to the university library where I scanned the documents anymore.
- My laptop died :(
Consolidate satellite party list vote share into main party vote share for South Korean election-related articles.
Joseph Souham’s activities in temporary command of the VI Corps at the tail end of the War of the Sixth Coalition.

International adventures

Where I'm from:
I've spent a week or more in:
Just a few days:
Less than a day:
Never escaped from the airport:
Flew over:
Played my cello in:
Maybe someday:	and many more...

	Idea and layout pinched from WereSpielChequers, who filched it from StuffOfInterest, who lifted it from Harro5, who took it from Salsb, who stole it from Guettarda who borrowed it from White Cat, as seen on Calton's page.
