From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
So, this is my user page. It's nothing yet, but you just wait until I actually have time to care to make one. I hope this will suffice for the time being.
Anyway, just to let anyone out there know, I see myself as more of an editor than an actual article author. I do, however, focus my knowledge around:
- Computers
- Intermediate to Advanced HTML Code
- Windows
- OS Operations
- Troubleshooting
- Intermediate Networking
- Programs
- How-to's
- Linux
- Basic Installations
- Basic Terminal Commands
- Distributions I use (or have used)
- Mandriva Live
- Not necessarily free, but okay despite the fact that it's almost impossible to install a program on it without prior knowledge of Linux programming. Yes, I did install the OS to my computer first...
- DreamLinux
- Really cool and everything, but I never could get it to install onto my computer... Darn shame, too.
- ubuntu (Currently using this)
- Really cool distribution of Linux! I was really impressed with it, even though I didn't get the most recent one (yeah, I need to update...). It actually TELLS the user that programs can be installed with the built-in program downloader/installer (which works really well) OR be installed if it's a Debian installation file (.deb), all without messing with the whole source code stuff that I can never seem to make work.
- Mandriva Live
- Español
So, yeah. You might see me around this site (but probably not much, considering I'm a new user and actually have a life). To contribute to the vast and ever-expanding project here on Wikipedia, I tend to edit articles (instead of creating articles) and fix links, usually by:
- Reading Articles that have been brought to my attention (through various sources, whether random, friend, or interest)
- Analyzing information (as all Great Edits usually begin)
- Spell-Checking (yes, even geniuses make mistakes)
- Simple rewording of sentences that could be made more clear
- Try to establish format or pattern in someone else's writing (and my own for that matter), including:
- Consistent article/section titles
- Lists of information where long sentence fragments once laid
- Some data tables
- Minor reorganization if article is in severe need (Please Remember: I have a life!)
- I do leave comments/summaries on what I did in the article and why, so no one will get confused (hopefully) and accidentally roll back my changes...
I also tend to contribute to individual Article Talk pages if it:
- Concerns or is directed to me or one of my (edited) articles
- Concerns the deletion or otherwise alteration of an article (such as Merging two articles together that aren't related)
So, yeah. That's me... Feel free to Talk to me...
