I started editing on January 27, 2013 with an edit to the Sandbox and am autopatrolled, a reviewer and a rollbacker. On November 12, 2014 I changed my username from "Jinkinson" to "Everymorning", a somewhat arbitrarily chosen reference to a Sugar Ray song. The general idea of naming oneself after a song I got from User:TenPoundHammer. I prefer to be referred to with male pronouns, and by my new username rather than my old one, although I consider it ideal for others to avoid using my username at all. Not incidentally, I often wish I could have chosen a really clever username like so many other users here.
What I do
I specialize in the following:
- New pages patrolling, which means:
- Categorizing new pages,
- Adding references to new pages, and
- Nominating very short/test/vandalism pages for speedy deletion
- Creating biographical articles, especially about autism researchers, alternative medicine researchers and climate scientists
- Creating articles about scientific journals
- Creating music-related articles, particularly indie rock related artists and albums
- Fixing those things that say "displayauthors suggested" in the references section of some articles, as well as adding authority control templates to any biography lacking one.
- Working on pages with incorrect ref formatting.
- Delsorting at WP:AFD.
- Reporting promotional/offensive usernames at UAA, and also requesting page protection and occasionally reporting vandals at AIV.
- Nominating stuff at ITNC.
- Oh yeah, and fixing dead links.
I have created a number of articles that have been featured on the DYK section of the main page, and 2 successful Good Article nominations (Primary Colours (Eddy Current Suppression Ring album) and Cedillo v. Secretary of Health and Human Services).
Lately I have been active in more general medicine-related articles such as the ones listed at /Interesting topics. I have also made some edits to articles about Wikipedia's coverage of itself (e.g. Reliability of Wikipedia and articles about notable WP editors like Justin Knapp and James Heilman, the latter of which I created).
Please respond to me on my talk page, even if I originally posted on yours.

Advice for journal articles
"Go to the source, not the NLM cat (their LCCN numbers, for whatever reason, are more often wrong than not). In the infobox, click on the print ISSN. That'll take you to WorldCat. The OCLC number is the last part of the URL (it's also somewhere in the text on the screen, but taking it from the URL saves time. For the LCCN, copy the print ISSN and paste it in the search box at http://catalog.loc.gov/ and hit enter. If there's a LCCN, it will take you there (not all journals have one though). Their info for a CODEN is usually correct (can't remember ever getting a wrong one). If it isn't there, go directly to CASSI here and again use the print ISSN (some databases don't have the online URL, I guess in time that'll change...) In all, takes two minutes to get the necessary info :-) Hope this helps." -Randykitty

Information about me on Wikipedia you should know
I generally don't watch other people's talk pages because too many things then pop up on my watchlist that are unrelated to what I wanted to be notified about. For this reason, you should reply on my talk page if I write to you on yours. I probably have moderate to severe editcountitis.
Mistakes
I am not a god. I have made numerous mistakes here and will undoubtedly continue to make them. Listed below are the mistakes that I made on Wikipedia in 2014 (or more recently than that) and which really stick out in my mind, in no particular order.
- This. Oh god, what the hell was I thinking? Just an impulsive error on my part, I guess.
- I edited the LTA page for Bambifan101 to add personal information about him in violation of WP:BLP. (This info has since been suppressed.)
- This, too. Just--everything about it. The fact that I created the page and most importantly, what I did in the AFD.
- I have been reverted in the past for closely paraphrasing sources, including on November 17, 2014 by Second Quantization at astrology and science.
- I have incorrectly tagged a few pages for speedy deletion, indicating I need to pay closer attention in the future.
- I made a few pointy nominations at ITNC around March-April 2014 because I was so pessimistic about the chance that the events would be considered notable enough.
- I added what was apparently incorrect information to Nicole Renee, which was eventually discovered by Renee herself, who first attempted to remove it directly herself, and after she was blocked, she got it removed through OTRS. The information in question came from here.
- I brought Kerry Sulkowicz to DRV without contacting the deleting admin to discuss his notability first, which you aren't supposed to do.
- I created Evidence of global warming as a redirect without thinking about whether it was appropriate to do so and then reacted with too much hostility when confronted about it at Talk:Global warming
- I nominated South Czech Philharmonic for deletion without properly following WP:BEFORE.
- I posted the wrong links repeatedly on Talk:Homeopathy as a result of sheer carelessness on my part. In addition I made unconstructive comments on this page over an extended period of time and ignored WP:REDFLAG for some time.
- There seems to be something I don't understand about what distinguishes significant events from insignificant ones with respect to ITNC. I wish there were an easier way to make this distinction. When two experienced editors say that they can't believe you would actually nominate something for ITNC, you know there's something you don't understand.
- (Related to one above) I still don't seem to "get" what events are significant enough to be posted to ITN and which aren't, as evidenced by my many snow-closed nominations at ITNC. This was raised as an issue by Mkativerata at my most recent RFA, who criticized me for my frequent posting of "doomed-to-fail nominations" there. Kharkiv07 raised concerns about this as well there, as did Jusdafax and Davey2010.
- I added an inappropriate image to Darren Wilson (police officer).
- I inappropriately nominated a user talk page for deletion (see Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User talk:SNCB Info).
- Apparently this edit introduced incorrect information that Graeme Bartlett later fixed.
- I nominated Tsipras's resignation for ITN and incorrectly described him as the Greek head of state in doing so.
- It seems that many of my most serious mistakes here correspond to March and April 2014, which corresponds to when I was the most depressed I have been IRL since I began contributing here in January 2013. I doubt this is a coincidence.
- Another boneheaded, POINTy, and disruptive ITN-related edit, long after I should have known better. [1]
- A consistent problem I have is that I have a bias toward thinking GNG is the ultimate test of whether something deserves a WP page, when in fact other factors (e.g. NOTNEWS and BLP1E) also influence notability.
- This edit apparently should have included more of the quote than I actually did when I made it. (This was fixed soon afterward by Yobol).
- Apparently this edit was a copyvio.
- Apparently I was gravedancing on Kevin Gorman's talk page after he was desysopped (although I swear I honestly wasn't trying to do this). [2]
- David Grimes (physician) was too closely paraphrased from his website when I first created it, leading it to be tagged by CorenSearchBot.
- /What I want to avoid
Adminship
I have run for adminship here twice (first time, second time). Both were self-noms and both were unsuccessful. Here is my attempt to break down some of the comments made by opposers in my second RFA (that's not to say I think they were wrong to oppose me).
I am also working on an analysis of the RFAs from this year so far. See here for more info on that (it's still a work in progress).
Apparently, many users don't think I should keep trying to either run for adminship or even ask about whether they think I would have a good chance of succeeding. So I won't. I am not a patient person, so I recognize that this characteristic has led to others thinking less of me and seeing me as relentlessly mop-seeking so I will not ask about adminship, much less run for it again, for a while (6 months at least, i.e. July 30, 2016 as of the time I write this).
