Today is Wednesday, 8 May 2024, and the current time is 22:50 (UTC/GMT). There are currently 6,821,508 articles. this page for a new update.

I'm not at all interested in Manga, but I still think Wikipe-tan is pretty awesome!

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.

2.Editing random articles!

3.Welcoming new users. A very simple and easy way to be kind, and it gets your edit count up very fast. ;-)

Ideas for future projects (OR: things I should be doing)

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

• Start Beatrice (Shakespeare) article.

• Bring Ariel (Shakespeare) to GA status.

• Expand Sonnet 36.

• Bring Elizabeth Keckly to GA status.

• Help bring A Midsummer Night's Dream to GA status.

Userboxen

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!!

Picture of the day

Heungseon Daewongun (1821–1898) was the title of Yi Ha-eung, the regent of Joseon during the minority of Emperor Gojong in the 1860s. Until his death, he was a key political figure of late-Joseon Korea. The Daewongun is remembered both for the wide-ranging reforms that he attempted during his regency, as well as for what was described by historian Hilary Conroy as "vigorous enforcement of the seclusion policy, persecution of Christians, and the killing or driving off of foreigners who landed on Korean soil". This silk painting of the Daewongun, now in the collection of the National Museum of Korea, was created by an unknown artist circa 1869. It is designated as a Treasure of Korea.Painting credit: unknown

Tip of the day...

Displaying one page within another = Transclusion

Including the contents of a template page on a different page (by surrounding the page name with double braces, i.e. "{{}}" and leaving out the "Template:" prefix) is called transclusion.

This allows the other page to be automatically updated whenever the template page is updated.

Besides templates, pages in the following namespaces can be transcluded:

• Category:
• Help:
• Portal:
• User:
• Wikipedia:

The only difference between transcluding these and templates is that you must include the prefix (followed by a colon) with the page's name inside the double braces.

Images also can be transcluded, but this is done using double square brackets instead of braces.

Here are some examples of transclusion:
