For leaving courteous comments when editing others' work
Awarded by all those who appreciate that sort of thing, 15th November 2005 [1]
I'm a curious person and Wikipedia is an excellent way to learn random interesting things. It is when I am doing that that I see minor problems with articles and fix them. —me in 2006 (it's still pretty accurate.)
I think I started editing Wikipedia in 2003; I officially signed up in 2005, so my history since then is recorded (except a few times when I forgot to log in).
Various notes to self:
I think I did a fairly good job with pooled standard deviation which I hadn't heard of before today, and finding sources for p-rep...
alloca needs an article. malloc refers to it in a footnote, and should have an internal link... I did a bit of (re)searching, I should put what links I found... (alloca() is an important function in the C programming language and possibly related languages).

By "contributions" and "my work" I take this anti-license to mean my edits to the main Wikipedia namespace, and perhaps similar places if they seem similar in intent.
(Why public-domain? Well, I don't like license incompatibility problems, and my contributions aren't so extensive or self-contained that it seems even potentially worth the complications. Few if any of them are even large enough to qualify as copyrightable in a court of law, anyway, I think, so, better to explicitly assure people that I won't bother them.)
Footnotes edit
References and citations are helpful for a surprisingly large variety of reasons for a variety of people...
