[edit] Editing and me
I've been around editing pages since March 26, 2006 and since my time here I have become accustomed to much of the Wikipedia guidelines and rules that outline this wondrous encyclopedia. Since my stay here, I have become an active editor, though my main source of editing exists with pages concerning anime & manga or that have some connection with those two fandoms. Much of what I have learned up until now has been by looking through a bunch of pages and figuring out the correct way to type in all of the Wikicode and how to format it. It's no easy task and can be very time consuming, but I find a lot of fun in editing and hope to stick around for a long time helping out in any way I can. My first edit was to the Kashimashi: Girl Meets Girl article; this article made me want to create an account. My 10,000 edit was to the Ayu Tsukimiya article on March 16, 2007. By March 2008, I had over 30,000 edits. On May 11, 2008, I became a rollbacker.
Other than my screenname, I have been called other things. One anonymous user once called me a bastard, even though this person was in the wrong.
[edit] About the name
The name Juhachi comes from the Japanese word jūhachi (十八, jūhachi?) meaning eighteen, which is also my lucky number. I dropped one of the u's in the word simply because I thought it looked better. Also, this is why when I sign my name on talk pages it appears as -- 十八, using the Japanese kanji for the name.
My first theme I had with my user page was taken from the series Higurashi no Naku Koro ni where one syllable or set of syllables in the middle of a phrase was colored red whereas all the other letters were white with a black background. The headers and the items that were wikilinked (which were also bolded for easy viewing) had this configuration. My second theme I had with my user page was taken from the series Kanon where the title is displayed with blue letters on a white background with pink snowflakes. The headlines and text were colored blue, and the wikilinks were colored pink, with a white background.
My current theme is taken from the company logo of the visual novel studio Key where the logo is displayed with a mix of black and red on a white background.
[edit] Additional Wikis
On December 28, 2006, I created an account at Wikiquote with the intention of creating and building up a page for the series Kanon. On January 27, 2007, I created an account at the Japanese Wikipedia mainly with the intention of making relatively minor edits that don't hinder on me knowing the Japanese language of which I am in the process of learning. on June 27, 2007, I created an account at Wikimedia Commons with the intention of uploading the occasional image into the public domain.
You may have noticed that I have created all of my Wiki-related accounts either on the twenty-sixth, the twenty-seventh, or the twenty-eighth of a given month, and may also wonder why this is so. My answer to this question is that it is purely coincidental and bear well in mind that I did not plan this; it just happened to be this way for some odd reason.
I'm so sick of seeing falling cherry blossoms in anime. Not as much as TRIP!BOOB though.--SeizureDog 05:20, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

I recently came across the thread of May 20 and was impressed with the way you handled yourself when people (to my way of thinking) got carried away with pov which as a graphic design background type I don't get. Have a donut for being calm under (f)ire. Best, Julia Rossi (talk) 03:19, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
