Hi! I'm Kaeli, a 15-year-old from Texas with a penchant for obsessively editing other people's spelling and grammar instead of having a social life. I've been lurking on Wikipedia for about a month now and editing as Anonymous, so I decided it was about time for me to create an account. I really like writing, music, and drawing. I have synesthesia (specifically, chromesthenia) meaning that hearing music or sounds causes me to see correlating colors and patterns. I enjoy urban exploration, although there's no good locations near me so I usually end up on urbex forums, instead. I live near NASA and have grown up in an area rich with a healthy, astronomy-centered science program, and I have lots of experience and interest in the field. I have fairly high confidence in my spelling ability and knowledge of various types of music, so that's mostly what I'll be editing on here.
Tom Taylor (1817–1880) was an English dramatist, public servant and writer. After a brief academic career in English literature and language at University College London in the 1840s, Taylor practised law and became a civil servant. At the same time he became a journalist, most prominently as a contributor to and eventually the editor of the magazine Punch. He also began a theatre career and is now best known as a playwright. With up to one hundred plays staged during his career, both original work and adaptations of French plays, Taylor's output covers a range of genres from farce to melodrama. Most fell into neglect after Taylor's death, but Our American Cousin (1858), which achieved great success in the 19th century, remains famous as the piece that was being performed in the presence of Abraham Lincoln when he was assassinated in 1865.

Whitfield is part of Men of Mark: A Gallery of Contemporary Portraits, a collection published in 1881.Photograph credit: Lock & Whitfield; restored by Adam Cuerden
My Tumblr is grungefrnk, so please feel free to follow me on there! Also, I'm currently questioning my gender and such, so for now, I would like to try it/its pronouns (example: This is its page. It likes to play music.) This is mostly because I don't feel very comfortable being labeled a boy or a girl, and I have no interest in using neopronouns (xe, hir, nouns as pronouns, etc) or they/them, which I feel has a primary function as a plural pronoun. If you absolutely cannot bear to use it/its, standard female pronouns would work too, I guess. Please feel free to leave me something on my talk page! Thanks!
