You may have noticed that me some editors, including me, have added the words "In solidarity" to our signatures. This is to show support for the workers who were laid off in response to their joining the newly formed union Wiki Workers United. For a better and more complete description, as well as the petition, see the article linked above.
No, I am neither. I use templates to issue notices and warnings on talk pages, but I'm a human being.:) My username is a tribute to John Laurens and is not my real name.
Not me
If you're JohnLaurens333, who's JohnLaurensAnthonyRamos333?
That's me! I changed my username from JohnLaurensAnthonyRamos333 to JohnLaurens333 for the sake of convenience on January 13th, 2025.
What are your pronouns?
For privacy reasons, I don't like to disclose my off-wiki pronouns, but on-wiki you can use they/them for me if you like.
Sometimes Wikipedians sound like they are speaking in a foreign language, even when they are not. This is because Wikipedians have created a great number of specialized terms (jargon) pertaining to Wikipedia and the activity of Wikipedians. Fortunately, being the encyclopedists that they are, they have also created a Wikipedia Glossary to explain these terms.
Remember, actual encyclopedia articles should be written in jargon-free language which is readily understandable without specific knowledge of the Wikipedia project.
I'm sometimes an impulsive editor, so please be patient with me! I thought I was more careful with my edits, but NOPE! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ My overeager self always takes control. Sorry for any inconveniences that may cause. I'll do my best!
Edit summaries...well. *Sigh* I know I should use them, I know! I just don't usually sit down to edit Wikipedia; I'm usually editing while I'm in the middle of something in real life, so I'm often in a rush and forget or don't have time to add an edit summary. I am trying, I swear.
According to Google Maps, there is in fact a 333 John Laurens Drive in Venus, Texas. I shall now make it my life's goal to live there (or at least at the intersection of John Laurens Dr and Lafayette Dr).
Hey JohnLaurens333, Thanks for removing that hateful message form Hilandar's page, and helping to keep Wikipedia civil and clean! Wik206 (talk) 22:48, 26 June 2026 (UTC)

For signing my guestbook! The signature just came to me while I was half asleep 😂 Yours is pretty good also, and would have fit me in my early WP days, the mistakes hahaha. Thanks again and cheers! SPF121188(talk this way)(my edits) 14:54, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
This user dies a little inside whenever they see the word you in an article.
This user uses edit counts and service awards as helpful goals and milestones when editing Wikipedia, but still knows that they are not an accurate reflection of how much they have contributed to the site.
D:<
Nothing annoys this user more than when a teacher says that Wikipedia isn't reliable and that anybody can enter anything completely untrue that'll stay.
Roses are #FF0000, Violets are #0000FF, If you understood that, Then you're a nerd too!

This user has just wasted both their time and yours placing this userbox on their profile, because it says absolutely nothing important, interesting or relevant to anything.
