Hi, I'm Culi (they/them). I studied math and really like plants and program for $$$.

Tools and stats

My stats:

• stats on pages I've created
• my editing stats

Helpful tools:

• a tool for hunting wikipedia articles that lack citations
• automatic wikipedia citation maker
• tool to see pageview data for an article

Other:

• my preferred watchlist settings

One type of contribution I commonly make is adding phylogenetic cladograms to plant species pages to show a plant's closest living relatives. Oftentimes when information is missing about a plant it can be helpful to look at close relatives and the consistency of a given trait amongst them. They usually look something like this:

a section of Solanum

Solanum (1,225 other Solanum species) S. ptychanthum (black nightshade) — North America, South America S. tredecimgranum S. americanum (glossy nightshade) — Americas, Melanesia, New Guinea, and Australia S. nigrum (European nightshade) — Europe, Asia, Macaronesia, and the North Africa S. opacum (greenberry nightshade or morelle verte) — Taiwan to New Zealand and Pacific S. chenopodioides (whitetip nightshade) — Argentina to Peru S. scabrum (garden huckleberry or mnavucode: swa promoted to code: sw ) — Africa, Indian Ocean S. retroflexum S. villosum (hairy nightshade, golden pearls) — Euro-Siberian, Irano-Turanian and Mediterranean regions worldwide S. annuum (Bolivia to Northern Argentina) S. fiebrigii (Peru to NW Argentina) S. enantiophyllanthum (SE Brazil) S. pallidum (Bolivia, Peru) S. physalifolium (hoe nightshade) — NW Argentina, Bolivia, Peru Jaltomata (73 species)

Pages I'm working on

• Spring greens
• Pannonian mixed forests
• Pittosporum tobira
• Rhaphiolepis indica

Personal pages

• User:Tr3ndyBEAR/plants_i_edited: This was meant to just be a page to keep track of every plant species page I've contributed to, but it has a lot of cool cladistic trees now that show the big picture relationships between plants clades.
• User:Tr3ndyBEAR/local_plants: My attempt to make a phylogenetic tree for local native species that are important to the indegenous peoples here. I try to get the first names of all the plants I add.
• User:Tr3ndyBEAR/plants_of_interest: Sometimes I come across really interesting plants or plants I wanna keep track of. This for that.
  • User:Tr3ndyBEAR/list_of_tubers: My attempt to keep track of edible tubers I come across.
  • User:Tr3ndyBEAR/rooting_depth: In which I explore the topic of plant root depth.
  • User:Tr3ndyBEAR/composting: Collection of information I gathered about composting.
• User:Tr3ndyBEAR/list_of_legumes: I was gonna make a detailed phylogenetic tree of Fabales relationships because I've always been confused by legume relationships. But I haven't done much work on it.
• User:Tr3ndyBEAR/fish: Another barely touched project to help me understand fish classifications.

What else I do

I like to do a lot of research on plants that are native or local to where I'm currently living. I find a lot of niche or old books so I find a lot of information in them that I don't see on their Wikipedia pages. If I get a rare book that cannot be found online, I try to update information from it on Wikipedia pages because I know it'd be hard to get that information otherwise.

I've also been working on a blog that I might plug eventually if I get it in nice shape. I write about leftist theory, anthropology, ecology, voting methods and social choice theory, critiques of capitalism and European culture, evolution, mycorrhizal fungi, the commons, crowd source technologies, cryptography, indigenous thought, soil, permaculture, plants, building dual power, climate change, and more. I am by no means an expert in any of these and I usually try to be provocative so if you actually are knowledgeable about any of this and wanna get annoyed, check it out if I've posted my blog yet.
