Vami_IV joined Wikipedia in November 2014 and soon became a prolific editor across a wide variety of topics, including buildings, wildfires, video games, and the history of Europe, Texas, and Latin America. In total, he brought ten articles to [[WP:FA|featured status]], including two worthy of the [[WP:4|Four Award]], and had nominated two more at [[WP:FAC]] at the time of his passing; he also brought numerous articles to A or GA-class, including a year-long project on [[Simón Bolívar]]. Vami often collaborated in these efforts with other editors; he was active at both [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history|WikiProject Military history]], at which he was a coordinator between 2021 and 2023, and [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red|WikiProject Women in Red]], for which he created 167 articles on primarily Latin American women. He also contributed extensively to [[WP:CCI]] and was active at the [[WP:DISCORD|Wikimedia Discord]], where he was unfailingly witty and generous with his time, especially with newer editors.

Vami [[Special:Diff/1207764632|passed away]] as a result of [[suicide]] on February 13, 2024, at the age of 24. He will be remembered for his editing talents, his personality, and his dedication to the project, exemplified by his [[User:Vami IV/Completionism|philosophy of Completionism]]:

'''"As a [[WP:EDITOR|Wikipedia editor]], [[WP:HERE|I understand]] that [[WP:GAN|my goal]] is [[WP:FAC|the destruction]] of [[WP:PURPOSE|my purpose]]."'''
