Hello! I'm For Each ... Next, though some may remember me as Lopullinen, my former username. While my name pays homage to Visual Basic 6.0, the first programming language I encountered, I am a fan of Python, which I consider the most elegant language in the world.

I've been passionate about video gaming for over a decade, but more recently, I have developed an interest in linguistics and literature, which I am currently studying as my undergraduate major.

About me

I am mainly active on the Chinese Wikipedia and believe that writing articles is the primary responsibility of a Wikipedian. Bureaucracy around article building is necessary, but bureaucracy about bureaucracy diverts attention from the goal: editors should redirect their skills and dedication from debating bureaucracy toward benefitting readers.

Most of my time is spent on routine content maintenance rather than direct article contribution. Although behind-the-scenes work can be tedious and often goes unrecognized, it genuinely benefits articles and reduces cleanup pressure on other editors. It also pushes me to learn programming and led me to discover new joys: a well-written piece of code is, to me, what a good article to its creator.

From time to time, I also take part in quality-focused writing. I may produce longer pieces—mostly through translation, occasionally from scratch—and participate in editorial reviews. Still, at heart, I consider myself a stub creator.
