Hey, I'm SpikeShroom (or Spike)! I'm nonbinary and go by they/them pronouns. I have a B.A. in Spanish with a minor in Math. Here on Wikisource I have a broad range of interests: sacred texts, esotericism, information on Bolivia, queer history, leftist politics, typography, etc. I also know LaTeX and occasionally fix up math notation. Please feel free to correct my work, post in my talk page, or otherwise reach out!

Spike's Favorite Quotes

Cool Users!

  • Reboot01—jack-of-all-trades and always super enthusiastic about whatever he's working on
  • Beleg Tâl—always seems to be working on something tangential to my own projects, and has very reasonable responses on the Scriptorium & Admin Noticeboard
  • CalendulaAsteraceae—has had a huge impact on my editing standards
  • ShakespeareFan00—corrects my work every now and then and I really appreciate that
  • Alien333—helped me out with the Lua for {{KJV verse}} and is a very knowledgeable and attentive admin
