I am currently a student attending college at the University of Chicago in Chicago, Illinois, USA. My editing tends to fall into two categories. On one hand, I like to do nitty gritty maintence stuff around Wikipedia. At the same time, I enjoy editing articles relating to my college majors: East Asian Languages and Civilizations and Sociology.

[edit] Five-a-day project

Finding new talented editors is very important to ensure the health of our project. As such, I believe that welcoming new users, whether they have already edited or not, is of the utmost importance. Therefore, I will welcome at least five new users per day, using Special:Log/newusers. I may increase this number if five feels too easy.

Simplicity. I am here to edit Wikipedia, meet new people, and learn new skills. I feel that complex userpages and signatures will detract from that goal by forcing me to continually "beautify" my presence here. Accordingly, I keep my signature plain and keep a userpage that only contains information about myself and my projects, with a minimum of userboxes.

Civility. Wikipedia is different from a paying job, where people must continue working in order to earn a living. Any of us could leave at any time, with almost no penalty to ourselves. However, the project feels the pain. Accordingly, I adhere to a standard of the utmost civility, even moreso than I would in real life.

[edit] Userboxes

Any views expressed herein are personal in nature only and have no bearing upon my editing of Wikipedia.
