[edit] Kodster

My name is Kent, and I'm 39 years old. I am a practicing cardiologist in the United States. I am currently married to Suzanne, and we have a four-year-old daughter Mary. I was born in the U.S., though my parents are from India. I speak English, a tiny bit of French, and am about to learn Latin. Here at Wikipedia, I contribute to music-related articles, mainly The Beatles and Michael Jackson. I've been on Wikipedia since 28 February 2008, and I love it here. I don't have any plans on being an admin. It's just not the kind of thing I would like to do, so I'm sorry. I am a democrat, and I supported Hillary Clinton for the 2008 Presidential Election. :( Oh well. <sigh>

[edit] Music

My favorite type of music is classic rock. I enjoy music from the 60s, 70s, and 80s. My favorite musicians (bands, whatever) are listed, in order of preference, as follows:

• The Beatles: Ah, my favorite band. These four mop-heads changed the world of music forever.

• Bob Dylan: Modest, elusive, and revolutionary, Bob Dylan's songs have feeling and emotion in every word.

• The Beach Boys: I don't know, but their music is pretty darn good.

• Bon Jovi: Livin' on a Prayer says it all!

• John Lennon: I know, I already put the Beatles on, but Lennon's solo career was extremely good as well

• Michael Jackson: No, I don't like that he's a pervert. That's not true, firstly, and secondly, his music's good anyway.

[edit] Political views

I do support Hillary Clinton Barack Obama for the 2008 Presidential Election. I agree with her him on more views, and I think she would make a better President of the United States. SHe would be able to represent us as an able-minded country, a little lot better than Barack Obama John McCain can. If Obama does win the nomination, which he has, then I would want him to win. Go Obama! :) I do not agree with John McCain at all on his views on Iraq and terrorism. I believe he would make a better Senator than President. Anyway, that's just me. I've updated this at 19:56 UTC on 4 June 2008, striking out and adding comments as necessary. :)

My edit history (broken down)

My Contributions

This user scored 3386 on the Wikipediholic test (revision 213418180).

I do a variety of things here at Wikipedia. I know the most about The Beatles, and I spend the majority of my time on improving Beatles-related articles. However, I have helped Realist2 with some Michael Jackson-related articles, so I do know a bit about him. I have contributed to a number of Good Articles (see below), and plan to work on Featured Articles when I have gained more experience at Wikipedia. I do, though, have a knack for English, it being my native language, and I am a former member of the copyedit league; if you need me to do a copyedit for anything, I'll do it. I can do GA (Good Article) reviews. That is, I know a GA from a non-GA. Still, if I put an article On Hold and leave some improvements, you might want to get a second opinion. Having been here only 2 months, I can't pick up everything. Still, don't hesitate to ask me for a GA review. I hope to get along with everyone here at Wikipedia.

Concerning the actual content of my edits, I do a variety of things to help improve articles. I use the Cite web template to fix the formatting of references, which is a pain but must be done. I also work on grammar, wording, etc. (copyediting). Then I fix the content of the article (adding and detracting info to meet reviews). If you have any questions about my edits, please feel free to go to my talk page and talk to me.
