“ The information age would replace tired ideas like voting, legislation, and territorial representation with flexible, consensus-driven rules, created by informal communities organized by interest and expertise rather than the arbitrary condition of location. ” — Jack Goldsmith and Tim Wu Who Controls the Internet? Illusions of a Borderless World (2006) ISBN 0-19-515266-2 About me I am currently finishing up my last year as an Information Sciences and Technology major at the Pennsylvania State University (University Park campus). I've been performing with the Penn State Blue Band for the past four years and have been playing the trumpet for twelve years now. More to come soon as I get time to mess around with this page in between copy editing, monitoring recent changes, fighting vandals, and tinkering with random pages I come across that I happen to know bits and pieces about.

Tip of the day... Using templates Templates are a type of page that contain boilerplate text that is intended to be displayed on more than one page in Wikipedia. This Tip of the day box is an example of a template (there are several versions actually), and besides being displayed here it is displayed on many userpages as well. Template names start with the prefix "Template:" followed by the page name. The main version of the template you are reading right now is called "Template:totd". To display a template on a page, go to the target page, click "edit", and add the template's name (with or without the prefix) surrounded by double curly brackets to the page's source text. (The text you see in the edit box when you click edit this page is called "source text", because it is a lot like programming code, which is called "source code"). Including a template on a page in this way is called "transclusion". Here's an example: To include the Template:Philosophy topics, type this at the end of the philosophy article you wish to place it on:: {{Philosophy topics}} Prior tip – Tips library – Next tip Read more: Help:Template   Become a Wikipedia tipster To add this auto-updating template to your user page, use {{totd2}}
