Contributions to Wikipedia

Electrochemical Cells and Batteries

Before formally joining Wikipedia as SilSinn9821, this person anonymously contributed to a few articles on electrochemical cells and batteries, usually providing previously-unlisted battery sizes and missing/​corrected IEC designations for already-listed sizes.

Radio/​Television Broadcasting

SilSinn9821, born in Puerto Rico, researches the history and technical details of some radio and television broadcast stations in the island, including call-sign changes, frequency/​channel displacements, and network affiliations.

SilSinn9821 joined WikiProject: Television Stations on 11 December 2018. Among the various articles he/she contributed to that are of interest to this project:

• WNJX-TV
• WORA-TV
• WOST

Tropical Cyclones

SilSinn9821, a survivor of Hurricane Maria, researches and occasionally contributes to articles on tropical cyclones with regards to numbering and naming. Regarding Northwestern Pacific and North Indian systems, he/she also researches the origins of the names assigned to them upon reaching tropical storm wind speeds. Regarding North Atlantic systems before 1950, he/she also researches the origins of the informal names given to them, especially those named in Puerto Rico after Roman Catholic saints.

After developing a table template for TC numbering, SilSinn9821 formally joined WikiProject: Tropical Cyclones on 12 December 2018 and set him/herself the goal of starting an article on Tropical cyclone numbering. It is not as prevalent as Tropical cyclone naming, but if enough sources regarding the matter can be compiled and properly turned into a good article (especially one compliant with Wikipedia’s guidelines and policies), then the effort may be worth it, even if it does not become a featured article (SilSinn would rather let that achievement be bestowed upon Tropical cyclone naming).

Fish etymology

SilSinn9821 researches international names of certain species of fish, especially those written in scripts and alphabets other than the Latin alphabet used by English and most other European languages. For example, he/she is currently trying to find out how sareng, a common name for Wallago attu, is written in Indic scripts like Devanagari and Bangla. So, if you Wikipedia reader or contributor know how it is written, he/she would greatly appreciate your help. Thankee!

Aircraft accidents

SilSinn9821, whose academic background is electrical engineering, also made some corrections to a few articles on accidents involving airplanes (especially commercial airliners). Corrections were mostly grammatical/​orthographic, plus a few disambiguations regarding the meanings of certain international acronyms that are usually confused with unrelated U.S. acronyms.

Biographies

SilSinn9821 made contributions to a few biographical articles (complete with references):

• Barbara Bush
• Pauline Robinson Bush
• Michael Everson
• Ken Lunde – with whom they had occasional email communications since 2017.
• Silverio Pérez – with whom they took a selfie in 2019!
• Andrew West (linguist) – with whom they had a handful of email conversations since 2017.

Also made a small infobox contribution to:

• Stephen Breyer

Other areas

Although not specializing in areas other than batteries, broadcasting, tropical cyclones, fish etymologies, or air accidents, SilSinn9821 sometimes contributes to such other articles by improving grammar/​orthography (especially verb-tense consistency, sometimes changing verbs to past tense when needed) or removing redundancies. Also, he/she occasionally inserts non-breaking spaces (NBSP’s) and zero-width spaces (ZWSP’s) on a few articles to improve their layouts, especially on both desktop and mobile browser views; his/her most frequent insertions of ZWSP’s take place just after diagonal slashes “/” separating certain words, because not all browsers (especially Google Chrome in Android) break a line immediately after a slash (thus unnecessarily dragging preceding words to the next line).

Templates

SilSinn9821 made a template for a flexible YouTube userbox that takes zero, one, or two arguments depending on the desired behavior:

• {{User:SilSinn9821/user YouTube}} (originally transcluded in this userpage at the near-top right)

Most of the functionality from this userspace template has been incorporated into the templatespace {{User YouTube}} template on December 2020.

For the WikiProject Tropical Cyclones, SilSinn9821 also furnished a table template summarizing various numbering schemes used for tropical cyclones:

• {{Tropical cyclone numbering}} (currently transcluded in Tropical Cyclone §9 Classifications, terminology, and naming §§9.3 Numbering; improved by other Wikipedians to which I extend my thanks)

For the WikiProject Television Stations, SilSinn9821 also furnished a link template for querying radio & TV station facilities using the Federal Communications Commission’s new Licensing and Management System (LMS) database:

• {{FCC-LMS-Facility}} (now transcluded in approximately 5000 radio/TV-station articles on this wiki)

About SilSinn

Etymology

Silent Sinner in Scarlet

From his/her YouTube profile:

• Sinner: we are all sinners.
• Silent: not all sins can be publicly discussed.
• Scarlet: the blood of some Holy one crucified by ancient Romans nearly 2000 years ago… the ONLY blood that can cleanse each and every sin in the world — even the silent ones.

SilSinn9821

• Sil: abbreviation of “Silent”.
• Sinn: abbreviation of “Sinner”.
• 9821: refers to a specific model of a long-storied family of computers made by Japanese firm NEC and sold in Japan from the early 1980’s well into 2003: the PC-9821. The music compiled by Silent Sinner in Scarlet (abbreviated as SilSinn) resembles the kind of background music played by ancient video games made for the PC-9801 computers (including the PC-9821).

Musical background

Silent Sinner in Scarlet was inspired by the original musical works by Japanese video-game composers Nobuo Uematsu, Revo, & ZUN, as well as Japanese anime composer Tatsuo Takai.

Currently, he/she is composing/​arranging/​remixing music based on the Yamaha OPNA FM-synthesizer integrated circuit. A 1:15-minute demo of his/her first single can be listened to in his/her YouTube channel; the full nearly-10-minute-long version can be found on various music-streaming platforms and apps (free and non-free) which will not be linked here so as to avoid making this section appear as free advertisement (and comply with this wiki’s anti-spam policies).

Interests outside music

SilSinn is a casual video gamer and has an interest in researching multilingual features of some role-playing video games, often contributing to their respective wiki encyclopedia projects (often hosted on Wikia, now rebranded as FANDOM).

He/she was an administrator of the Wikia-hosted River Monsters Wiki, centered around biologist Jeremy Wade’s TV shows about dangerous and unusual aquatic creatures. He/she also founded that wiki’s Spanish branch (which unfortunately was closed due to editorial inactivity). A hater of (and tireless crusader against) wiki vandalism him/herself, he/she was promoted to co-administrator of the Sparta Remix Encyclopedia (a wiki that studies the history of a classic internet meme involving techno music and visual effects, as well as the remixers who made such remixes) and the Fictional Characters Wiki (a wiki dedicated to fictional characters from various media franchises). He/she retired from administrating all these wikis on November 2020 because they were stealing a lot of his/her time that could’ve been better spent on making music. However, he/she still occasionally contributes edits & uploads to various vocal-synthesizer wikis there (like, for example: VOCALOID Wiki –where he/she is a content moderator– & Synthesizer V Wiki –where he/she is a sysop–).

Favorite Phrases

• “I will remain silent on that question.”
• “Thankee!”

Signature

‐⁠‑🌀⁠SilSinn^AL982100⁠💬

A well-constructed wikicode signature making smart use of Unicode characters seldom used by ordinary users, plus two emoji pictograms that still meet Wikipedia’s signature policy because they are characters, not image files:

• unambiguous regular hyphen (U+2010) to prevent the signature from dragging any preceding word to the next line in case the signature doesn’t fit in the current line and the user forgets to type a normal space before appending the signature.
• non-breaking hyphen (NBHY, U+2011) that will always stay in the same line as the rest of the signature in case of a line break.
• the emoji for CYCLONE (U+1F300), alluding to the user’s past involvement in the WikiProject Tropical Cyclones.
• the emoji for SPEECH BALLOON (U+1F4AC), serving as a link to the user’s talk page.
• three word joiners (WJ, U+2060), which are essentially zero-width non-breaking spaces that ensure that no line breaks occur between ① the regular HYPHEN & the NON-BREAKING HYPHEN, ② the CYCLONE & the abbreviated username, and ③ between the superscripted ATCF-like label (a concealed link to the user’s contributions page) and the SPEECH BALLOON.
