From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Welcome!

Well, I guess this is the place for a bit of introductory text. Here goes...

I'm Matt, and I live in the UK. I'm 17 years old and currently studying ICT in college.

I joined Wikipedia some time in January - maybe the 13th. That's a likely date, anyway, because my first edit was made on 13th January, 2006.

[edit] What do I do?

I'm not the most knowledgeable person in the world, but if I find that I can add some information to an article, I'll definitely press the edit button. My contributions tend to gear towards Windows software and The Simpsons, but I'll branch out of those categories some day.

Since my most recent work involved old software, I've taken the liberty of placing the files on my own web server in case the original file is no longer available. This should give everyone the opportunity to use the software, even if the manufacturer removes it.

[edit] Any comments on my work?

If you have any comments on what I've done for Wikipedia, feel free to leave them on my talk page. I gladly accept criticism - when you're writing it, I'd appreciate it if you told me what's wrong with my editing style. I'll change it to what suits Wikipedia best - I'll even start using American English instead of British English.

See my contributions to Wikipedia. Knowing my most recent edits, that page will be chock full of monobook.js, with a bit of monobook.css thrown in for good measure.

[edit] Thanks to...

  • Kukini - his user page gave me a few ideas for my own. He also welcomed me to Wikipedia!
  • HTML. It gives me a small part-time job to earn a few pounds.
  • PHP. It saved me hours when working on this user page thanks to a few variables and custom functions.

[edit] My contributions

I have started the following pages, either from scratch or by expanding a stub article.

[edit] Matt's userboxes

Quite a lot of user pages have userboxes. This page is no exception.

This user is in college.
en-5 This user is able to contribute with a professional level of English.
css-4 This user is an expert Cascading Style Sheets user.
php-2 This user is an intermediate PHP programmer.
xhtml-5 This user is a XHTML professional.

I constantly change my userboxes around for no reason at all, so if you ever feel the need to come back to this page, you might find some new ones.

[edit] Scrapbook

Here's some links that I often need to visit. Feel free to have a look at them if you feel the urge to.
