Hi! I'm EduExplorer47, a Wikipedia editor since 2023 specializing in Indian education systems, cultural heritage, and geospatial documentation. As a WikiGnome, I focus on meticulous improvements—fixing citations, streamlining infoboxes, and enhancing content structure—to make Wikipedia more reliable and reader-friendly.

Editing Philosophy

"As editors, we are not merely curators of facts but architects of accessibility. Every correction, citation, and clarification builds a more trustworthy encyclopedia for generations to come."

My approach to Wikipedia editing is guided by the principle that quality supersedes quantity. I believe in:

• Incremental improvement — Small, consistent edits accumulate into substantial enhancements
• Source evaluation — Prioritizing academic journals and institutional publications over news articles when possible
• Regional balance — Ensuring equitable coverage of educational institutions across urban and rural India
• Accessibility — Structuring content to be navigable for readers of varied backgrounds and technical proficiency
