Hi there! I'm flaterred that you think me an important enough editor to visit my user page. Or perhaps you're thinking what is this person thinking?!?! either way, I invite you to drop me a line--I love getting messages!
My main activities on Wikipedia are...
1. Working on the Shakespeare Wikiproject collaboration. It's one of the best ways to apply my knowledge to Wikipedia. I sort of drop out when it comes to all those nitpicky FA and GA things--I'm no good at nitpicking.
3.Welcoming new users. A very simple and easy way to be kind, and it gets your edit count up very fast. ;-)
The Status Bot has beenblocked. See my last edit here.
Ideas for future projects (OR: things I should be doing)[edit]
One down, six to go!
Clean up and add to Lord of the Flies literary critism section. I don't think I'll ever get around to creating a sub-page for this purpose. Some day, when I have a lot of time on my hands, I think I'll finally finish my notes!
Help with expansion of themes section in Hamlet. Done
I am usually I very Zen person. My decorating style might be described as "less is more" (with the exception of lime green paint). However, when it comes to userboxen, I say...more is more!! Ps. Thanks to D.M.N. for fixing my userboxen!!
For taking the time and kindess of welcoming new users to Wikipedia. Keep up the good work. And, Happy Editing. -- ThinkBlue (HitBLUE) 23:13, 04 October 2007 (UTC)
The Apprentice Award in Minor Discovering Locations of Pages
The Great Train Robbery is a 1903 American silent film made by Edwin S. Porter for the Edison Manufacturing Company. It follows a gang of outlaws who hold up and rob a steam locomotive at a station in the American West, flee across mountainous terrain, and are finally defeated by a posse of locals. The short film draws on many sources, including a robust existing tradition of Western films, recent European innovations in film technique, the play of the same name by Scott Marble, the popularity of train-themed films, and possibly real-life incidents involving outlaws such as Butch Cassidy.Film credit: Edwin S. Porter
What are portals? "Doorways to knowledge." Wikipedia's coverage of subjects can be extensive (mathematics, for example, is covered by tens of thousands of articles on Wikipedia). Portals are an alternative entry to a subject (besides its main article), and to that subject's coverage in the encyclopedia, in a way similar to how the Main Page provides sample fare from Wikipedia as a whole.
Portals may include features such as Selected article sections, Selected image, news, points of interest (Did you know?, Anniversaries), and links to related Wikimedia. Portals are more diverse than the Main page, and may include features such as panoramic banners, slide shows, category trees, topics lists, and whatever else portal designers can come up with.
A secondary purpose of portals is to provide bridges between reading and editing, and between the encyclopedia and the Wikipedia community. They may provide links to the related WikiProjects, Wikipedia's Reference desk, and so on. Portals are a hybrid between encyclopedia pages and project pages, and occupy their own special namespace, the Portal namespace. Therefore, all portal titles are preceded by the prefix "Portal:"
The list of all completed portals is Portal:Contents/Portals. A list of all portals, including those under construction, can be found at Category:All portals. The Portals WikiProject is dedicated to collaboratively building and maintaining portals, and further expanding on the Portal concept, such as with automated features, and is always looking for new participants.
