About me. Around wikiHow, I like to do NAB, patrol the recent changes and copy-edit articles.
In life away from wikis, I enjoy various kinds of crafts, writing and reading.
If you need help with any aspect of wikiHow, you're welcome to leave me a message on my talk page and I'll do my best to help you (or direct you to someone who can help).

Hi and welcome to my userpage! My name is Elana and my username is Writelf. I am an administrator (a.k.a. admin, a.k.a. mod) here at wikiHow. I am also a New Article Booster, a Recent Changes Patroller, a Help Team Member and a Grammar Stickler.

Brag Box

I am a BA-student in Languages. I chose to study this because correcting grammar, spelling, and so on, is my passion, and it gives me the chance to do proofreading and copy-editing.
