Who I am
I am a
Wikipedia user. For obvious privacy reasons, I will not reveal any personal details about myself.
Update, December 2023: This account was created when I was rather young. I don't have the usual reasons for wanting a
clean start (such as a poor reputation or being subject to harassment), but now that I'm thinking of returning to Wikipedia after several years of inactivity, the notion of using this account doesn't quite sit right with me. It's largely a snapshot of who I was in my early teens and even younger, and although there's nothing specific I feel a need to escape, I'd still rather it not be the basis of how I'm perceived now.
Wishing you all the best,

Also, here's a box that displays a new Wikipedia tip every day:
Tip of the day...
Custom signatures
Signatures in Wikipedia are identifying information that you put after writing a comment on a talk page. They tell other editors who wrote the comment and when. This can be done by writing ~~~~.
Signatures can optionally be spruced up with colors. To add color to your signature, go to the
Preferences link at the top of the page. In the nickname box, enter [[User:MYUSERNAME|<font color="MYCOLOR">MYUSERNAME</font>]]. Replace "MYCOLOR" with a color you like, such as "red" or "green". Replace MYUSERNAME with your username. Finally, check the "raw signature" box, and save your preferences. Now, when you type four tildes ~~~~ in a talk page, your new signature will appear.
The color names that can be used in standard
HTML are given in the standards document
here. Using the hexadecimal RGB-style colors (such as #008000) you can choose any color you like from about sixteen million, not just the 140 colors that have names in standard HTML.
More complex signatures are possible; however, your signature as typed into the box above should not be unnecessarily long. Long signatures make pages larger and harder to edit, and are discouraged.
