I'm not good at nice-flowy descriptions of myself. So the user boxes you see on the right side of the page is about all you really need to know about me as a person.
- As an editor I like organization, flow of thought, as well as easy-on-the-eyes articles. My edits have been and will most likely continue to be modifying the look and layout of an article.
- As a graphic designer I also like organization, flow, simplicity, and color. If an appropriate picture is available for a topic I believe that it should be there.
- As a student I like lots of information fast, in a compact and clear manner. References, sources, links to other articles, and links outside of Wikipedia.
- As a student browsing a broad topic to get general background information for a research paper, the links are my best friends. ::Links between Wikipedia articles are wonderful in elaborating upon the base information knowledge of a topic. The "See Also" section and the categories list at the bottom of most Wikipedia articles are the main sources of these kinds of links.
- Links to outside resources such as topic and organization homepages, information sheets, as well as any and many more useful informatie sites linked are wonderful sources to cite for research papers when an instructor is wary of Wikipedia's credentials. The "References" and "External Links" sections at the bottom of most Wikipedia articles are the main sources of these kinds of links.
- Links to directly-related articles in other Wikiprojects are also good sources for school projects, often providing sound bytes, meaningful quotations from key players, species, or documents that are/were important in relation to the topics. Wikimedia and Wikiquotes have shown to be the most-oft used and most helpful links, also often found at the very bottom of most Wikipedia articles.
As somewhat of a side note to that, I am a horrid speller, and if you see a few minor edits in a row from me saying (spelling) then don't be surprised. I maintain user accounts on various other Wikimedia projects, all under the same username. I have participated in logo idea submissions for Wikisource, Wiktionary, and Wikibooks. My logo submission for Wikibooks has recently been chosen as the new logo for that Wikiproject (I don't know for sure if and when the logo will actually go into play).
As a Wikipedian I disagree with editing anything other than spelling and grammer mistakes without first consulting the Talk page.
I'll get around to making this User Page look all frilly and special later. Edit you later. Firehazard07 05:39, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
