About me
Hi! I am Joshua from
Kuala Lumpur,
Malaysia. I did my
Bachelor's degree in
Nanyang Technological University,
Singapore, and currently I am doing my
postgraduate studies there. I am a user of
Wikipedia (obviously since this is my user page). My mother tongue is
Mandarin and it is my everyday language. However, since attending university, I tend to speak both Mandarin and
English in my daily conversations with friends. I am also proficient in
Malay since it is a compulsory subject in
Malaysian primary and secondary schools. I just began to learn
Japanese and I can understand very simple Japanese phrases.
I believe that every editor should be respected and treated equally, no matter that they do major edits or correct some typos on Wikipedia. We should
be civil and always
assume good faith on Wikipedia.
I am
bold in edits and I have a firm stance against
vandalism on Wikipedia. If you are not happy with my edits (or just want to talk to me) feel free to leave a message on
my talk page. Remember to
sign your posts on talk pages - and only on talk pages - with ~~~~ (four tildes). My signature looks like this:

Wikipedia and me
I am a
bookworm since I was a child. My mother bought me a set of
World Book Encyclopedia when I was seven. I used to read the encyclopedia almost everyday (I was surprised and rather happy when I found out that
Jimmy Wales also used to read the encyclopedia). Besides that, I also own a
Encyclopedia Britannica CD-ROM.
The first article I found on
Wikipedia was
Passport (your
papers, please!). I found it on a
Google search and it was exactly what I was looking for. Since then, I visited Wikipedia very often even though I was using
dial-up access (and when the phone bill came...). On 13:44,
20 July
2006 (
UTC) I created this account and began actively involved in editing. However, I think myself more as a reader of Wikipedia than an editor. Since attending university in
2007, I have cut down editing because of my busy schoolwork, although I still access Wikipedia almost everyday and edit occasionally.
Me elsewhere
Besides English Wikipedia, I am also a registered user on the
Chinese,
Malay and
Simple English Wikipedias as well as
Wikimedia
Commons. These are my user pages on the different projects:
Among these projects, I am primarily active on the English Wikipedia. Please direct any questions about my edits on the different projects to my talk page on the respective project. However, you may write
here instead if you wish to alert me to a serious problem.
About this user page
I would like to allow anyone to edit this user page as this is a
wiki. I will try to
assume good faith for every edit. However, I would also like to remind you that please do not
vandalise any pages on Wikipedia including this page - if you want to test edit, please use
the sandbox. If you do anything considered vandalism to Wikipedia, I would advise you to
revert the page and refrain from such activities. Failing in doing so may result in a warning or even being
blocked by an
administrator. If you have not already done so, check out the
policies and guidelines.

Great userpage - informative & funny :). Loved the line "I am a user of Wikipedia (obviously since this is my user page)".
