User:SunTunnels - Wikipedia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Work stops at sunset. Darkness falls over the building site. The sky is filled with stars. "There is the blueprint," they say.

About me
Hiya! Welcome to my userpage. I'm SunTunnels — but you can also call me Kyr or Lily if you like — and my pronouns are she/they. I've been using Wikipedia almost my whole life and briefly tried editing circa 2016 and 2021, but it didn't take. However, my interest in this strange site was rekindled in 2024 after I broke my talus while lead climbing on Cape Town's Table Mountain and subsequently found myself with more time on my hands and less weight allowed on my feet. Since then I've participated in GOCE drives and blitzes, Women in Red events, and various other WikiProjects. I've written a few articles from scratch, one of which was featured on DYK not long ago, and another of which was just promoted to Good Article status. Safe to say I am new here, and I'm excited to contribute to an open-access knowledge base and meet new people!
I currently live among the cornfields of Minnesota, where I'm pursuing an undergraduate degree focused on geography and archaeology. When I'm not editing Wikipedia, I can be found making music, playing video games, or reading Wikipedia. I definitely will not forget to finish this about-me section later. Cheers!

On 5 August 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Aniya Holder, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Aniya Holder secured a spot at the 2024 Summer Olympics by winning a speed climbing competition, for which she had started training without even knowing that it was an Olympics qualifier? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Aniya Holder. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Aniya Holder), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page. ~ theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 00:04, 5 August 2024 (UTC)
Dashes in article titles
When naming an article, don't use a hyphen as a substitute for an en dash that properly belongs in the title, for example in Eye–hand span. To aid searching and linking, provide a redirect from the corresponding article title with hyphens in place of en dashes, as in Eye-hand span.
