The extraordinary writs are...extraordinarily cumbersome.

“
Extraordinary writs are disfavored...

I'm Extraordinary Writ, and I'd like to thank you for visiting. I do my best to be neither cumbersome nor worthy of disfavor.
I created my account in July of 2020. I've spent much of my time since then writing content, which for me has easily been the single most fulfilling thing I've done on this project. I usually work on articles about American law (particularly the U.S. Supreme Court), but my interests also include history, politics, and plenty of other things. You can see some of the articles I've worked on below. I also enjoy reviewing content at DYK, GAN, URFA/2020, and FAC—I've taken a look at (and learned from!) articles about everything from tenth-century Arabic agricultural texts to Cold War–era Yugoslav history. Outside of mainspace, I can be found working on a variety of things, including requested moves, problematic usernames, AfD, and PROD. Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you'd like to get in touch: all questions, comments, and concerns are welcome. I can also be reached via email or with a ping. Cheers!
