Greeting

Hello. I had lots of pretty userboxes but my HTML coding failed me, so regrettably I had to delete them all. I think some nasty bots came through and changed them into something else. The userboxes said a lot about me, but the Categories at the bottom still say the rest.


My edits

I am learning my way in editing Wikipedia. My areas of interest at present include Australian places of interest and people groups, football (including Adelaide United FC and the Socceroos (the Australian national team)) and matters gaining national or international media attention.

Feel free to use my talk page to give tips or query any edits I have done.

For my edit count, click here (hat tip to user Dibo).

My plans

I am enjoying editing areas of Wikipedia as I come across them, or learn more about them in IRL and desire to expand their Wiki definitions. I have no plans to join or create a Wikiproject.

I recently usurped "Wanderer" which has always been my preferred name, rather than "War-hammer". I would not like to be considered an Odinist with the revival of that pagan religion, but in any event I have known the name Wanderer more often than War-hammer.

Usurpation: Wanderer

I now feel complete, having foregone my warlike ways of the past. For they called me War-hammer for making war against those who would speak against truth and justice. Now however I choose the life of the Wanderer, usurping the title of he who had abandoned it. I am available to those who call upon me, but my choice to join or leave whatever cause is my own. I have chosen the way of the nomad, to enjoy and savour for as long as I like those things upon which I might encounter.

To those who think that changing my password will somehow strengthen your case to usurp my username, you're wrong. Catch the next train, bucko, this one's full.

Tip of the Day

The lead section

The lead section is an essential summary of an article, located above the first heading.

In the source text (the text in the edit window), a heading looks like this:

== This is a heading ==

The lead section is a very important part of every article. The length should correspond to the overall length of the article: an article of 50,000 characters might well have a three paragraph lead, while one of 15,000 or less should limit itself to one or two paragraphs. The text should give a good overview of the article, but it should also get the reader hooked and interested in learning more. Take a look at some featured articles for inspiration.

It is often a good idea to align a representative image with the lead by placing [[File:Filename.jpg|thumb|caption]] just before the first heading. (Filename is the name of the desired file and caption is a description of the image).
