Hello! I am Thaurisil. I have been with Wikipedia since 16 October 2006, and this page was created on 17 October 2006.

Who am I?

I am a female secondary school student from Singapore. I am also a Christian. I support Manchester United, and would like to visit Old Trafford one day, once my parents allow me to. I like reading fiction books, and am also interested in history. I don't play sports, except in PE lessons. And of course, I am a proud Wikipedian.

Why Wikipedia?

I edit Wikipedia because I think the entire concept of Wikipedia to share knowledge with the world is wonderful, and I wish to contribute to this project to the best of my ability. Also, as I am editing Wikipedia, I am bound to gain some knowledge myself as I read different articles every day, and it is thus very benefitting.

I first created an account for myself because I share an IP address with 300000+ other people, which means that I am prone to being blocked on a regular basis if I don't have an account. After creating this account, I have discovered many other benefits of owning an account, such as being able to have my own user page and my own identity on Wikipedia.

Contributions to Wikipedia

With parents who control the amount of time I use the internet quite strictly, I don't have the time to do the research and make very major edits on a regular basis, especially since I am not very good at researching effectively. I do, however, make edits which require less/no research, such as disambiguating, welcoming new users, correcting spelling and fighting vandalism.

Between school and Wikipedia, school definitely takes the top priority. As such, I don't pressurise myself too much with trying to make very good edits and contributions. But within these limits, I try my best to do good and make contributions which are useful and helpful to Wikipedia. However, I'll be the first to admit I do make mistakes (such as te first time I used VandalProof, in which I reverted a few ligitimate edits and warned someone without meaning to). So I hope that if I do make any mistakes, you will take this in good faith and tell me what I have done wrong.

As mentioned above, I use VandalProof for patrolling for vandalism, while I also use Lupin's Anti-vandal tool for spellchecking.

The lists are pretty short, so I definitely hope to add more to them.

This is a list of pages I have contributed a lot to.

There are only two article on the list, so I also hope to add more articles to the list.
