My name is Covington. I am from Northeastern US. I am English-, Chinese-, and Malaysian-American. My personal motto isnon videri sed esse (not seeming but being) and my familial motto isnon sufficit orbis (the world is not enough). I hold these words to the bottom of my heart.
I am a moderate Wikipedia user, and I am on Wikipedia almost every day. I love to participate in the inner workings of Wikipedia, such as Wikiprojects and Request for Adminship. I believe that civility and cooperation are the keys to a successful Wikipedia and I do my part to promote these two values. I am completely responsible for my own actions, so feel free send your concerns to me at my talk page.
If I'm not on Wikipedia, I'm either working, in class, on the so-called court (a.k.a. driveway with a hoop at the end) or playingOblivion. I am currently writing a couple of screenplays and trying to start a business.
Among my best friends I am rumored to be of the likes of James Bond, or Aragorn, or even Martin Septim. Sadly, I am neither.
The dove is the symbol of the Covington family. It has inspired me to strive for civility. I take complete responsibility for my actions. Please contact me if you have any concerns.
For going out of his way to help another user and showing exceptional WikiCitizenship, I award Covington this Random Acts of Kindness barnstar. _-MoP-_ 04:51, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
I have awarded barnstars to these deserving Wikipedians. Congrats to Dijxtra (AID and AIDbot), Dozenist (dental-related articles), and Go for it! (Tip of the Day and Main Page layout).
A distinguished newcomer award? Some say so ...
Tip of the day...
Navigation popups
The Navigation popups gadget allows easier access to several Wikipedia features as "popups" which appear when you hover the mouse over links. With this useful tool, when you hover your mouse cursor over a wikilink you can see a preview of the article or image; plus you can activate convenient functions such as going directly to the talk, edit, or history pages.
To use the navigation popups gadget you must be logged in under your own user account and turn on the gadget in your Preferences, available at the top right of your screen. In your preferences you will find navigation popups under Gadgets, Browsing gadgets. Full instructions are on the Navigation popups page.
