[edit] About Myself

Nick C's Wikimood

I am British Chinese (Hong Kong), born in Manchester on March 23, but now currently live in London, UK. I am currently studying my A-Levels. My main interests are Football, Tennis, Formula 1, Snooker, Surfing the Net, travelling to other countries, Pokémon, Athletics, History of the World and Wikipedia. (Yes, I am a very sporty person), and to a lesser extent, Table Tennis, Badminton and Field hockey. I like many types of music, mainly Rock music (mainly alternative rock), Pop Music and sometimes Dance/Techno/Disco Music (See My Userboxes for more information!). I joined Wikipedia on 14 July 2005; but have used Wikipedia and edited articles since around the beginning of 2004. My reading on Wikipedia is quite varied, often find myself getting lost in topics I didnt know that I was interested in, although I like to edit articles to do with my interests, any articles to do with major sports events (Olympics, European Championships in Athletics, World Championships in Athletics, Football World Cup, UEFA European Championship, Commonwealth Games, etc) and any articles I stubble upon that I want to edit or create. I am also part of the Pokémon Adoption Center, Pokémon Collaborative Project, WikiProject Football, WikiProject Sports Results, WikiProject Formula 1, WikiProject British TV channels, WikiProject Sports Olympics, WikiProject Eurovision, Wikiproject Countries, Wikiproject Snooker, WikiProject UK Parliament constituencies, WikiProject Badminton, WikiProject Underground, WikiProject Hong Kong, WikiProject Chemicals and WikiProject Chemistry groups. My favourite Football Teams are Manchester United, England, China and Hong Kong and to a lesser extent Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Netherlands.

For my edit count, either click:

Here or Here. The first one is Kate's Tool and the second link is to Interiot's Tool. Interiot's is the one with more graphs and Kate's is more helpful if you misspell someone's username. Unfortunately thse tools do not work now, but there are alternatives below.

A new tool, here, can be used to view my edit count, but it only seems to work on Mozilla Firefox, and needs Javascript to be enabled. Even so the script is quite slow (and may stop responding), and takes about 1 minute for it to retrieve my edit count. Even so, it's a good tool. For other edit counters, click here.

This tool gives more detail about my edits than the one above.

And here for my contributions to Wikipedia.
