My name is Alex Stringer and I am a recent edition to the wikipedia editing community. I am currently studing for my GCSE's at Lutterworth College. With the ambition of joining the RAF as an officer after completing my A-Levels in English, Mathamatics and Physics.

Interests

My main areas of interest are; Military, Science and Sports. Although I do enjoy watching team sports such as football and rugby, I prefer to play sports which I refer to as Interlectual. Sports such as judo and cricket which involve much more brains than brawn.

Contributions

My first edit on wikipedia was a youtube link (which was promptly removed my the copyright "bot") on the TAR-21. Since my trail by fire I have tried to make one or two contributions per day. Many of my recent edits have been on CERN's page with most being on the recent LHC activities.

Tip of the moment...
Title searches

You can focus your searches by using the intitle: parameter. Here's how:

(1) In the Wikipedia search box, type the word intitle followed by a colon, then the word or phrase you are looking for. When you click on "Search," then, you'll be presented with a list of articles that have your search term in their titles.
(2) You can also search for one word or phrase in the title and for others in the text of the articles. For example:
Query Result
intitle:airport All articles with airport in their titles
intitle:international airport Articles containing the two words international and airport anywhere in their titles—which will give you a list that includes, for example, the article World's busiest airports by international passenger traffic
parking intitle:airport Articles with parking in the text, and airport in their titles.
intitle:"international airport"   Articles containing the exact expression international airport in their titles.

An even more powerful tool for searching titles is Grep. It lets you search titles using regular expressions, and in the results it lists the titles only.
