Publius Aculeius Spina Arcanus is a regular contributor on Wikipedia and an occasional Wiktionarian.

I'm a bit of a verbivore and enjoy obscure and humorous terminology, which is far too often neglected in scholarly sources! You can attract my attention by correctly using words like zarf and shrubbery. I'm still a bit of a novice at Wiktionary, so I will make occasional mistakes, but I appreciate the patience of other editors who keep the place looking neat and tidy!
