Hello! I'm FallenAngelEyes, or FAE for short. I grew up in the Finger Lakes region of upstate New York, specifically on Canandaigua Lake. I've been using Wikipedia as a personal reference tool for a couple years, and I finally decided to register. I previously did not register because I was nervous about the prospect of becoming a Wikipedian, but I have now decided that being bold and taking the plunge would be a fun and interesting learning experience. I have recently moved to the Netherlands, and I plan on continuing my secondary education here.
I hope to become a valuable contributor to the Wikipedia project, as I feel that freedom of information and the unrestricted flow of knowledge is very important. The more people know about something they previously did not, the more likely they are to understand and eventually accept it, and I feel that this is something important to our society's function as a whole.
As of now, I will mainly focus on correcting grammar, spelling, and punctuation errors that I notice in articles I read. I have an internal spelling and grammar checker that never seems to shut itself off, and I figure this will be helpful in making minor changes that may go unnoticed.
Also known as "areas I will eventually feel comfortable enough in my knowledge of them to contribute to." Yes, yes, I know, be bold. This will mainly encompass books or games and their respective universes I have enough familiarity with to make corrections to and/or expand on. I am also a lover of linguistics and its associated subjects. I speak conversational French and Spanish at a decent level, I have two semesters of Japanese under my belt, and I'm in the process of teaching myself Dutch so I may move to the Netherlands. My goal is to someday become an interpreter for the European Union. I may, at some point, try to add to the French and Spanish Wikis, but that is a goal for the future, as I am not sure if my current vocabulary is at an encyclopedic level.
If you would like to add me to your buddy list to contact me, please leave me a message on my talk page so I know who you are when I get the notification. Thank you!. :)
