From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Welcome
Well, hello! Welcome to my small corner of Wikipedia. I'm certainly not famous enough for my own article, so you'll have to make do with a bit of a user page.
[edit] About me
My name is Michael, I'm seventeen years old and I'm situated in Whitley Bay - a dilapidated sunny seaside town. I'm currently studying for my AS Levels, more specifically Maths, Further Maths, Ethics & Philosophy, Business Studies, Biology and General Studies. For GCSE, I got nine A*s and two and a half As, which is awesome, but I would have been more happy with A*s across the board. Never mind, I got my photo in the newspaper.[1]
My hobbies mainly lie online. I adore editing Wikipedia, posting at Digital Spy and refreshing my Last.fm page. From 2004-2007, I had my own domain - Only-Hope.org - and I loved making layouts, adding content, coding the pages and posting in my blog. Unfortunately, I lost interest in February 2007, as there was very limited interest internet-wide in personal domains any more, and all my friends had abandoned theirs.
Outside of the internet, my main passions are television and DVDs. I like to keep up to date with the latest broadcasting and television show news, as well as new and forthcoming DVD releases. A few of my favourite shows are Veronica Mars, Desperate Housewives, The O.C., Dead Like Me, Dawson's Creek and Nip/Tuck. Of course, I love to watch homegrown shows, such as The IT Crowd, Fawlty Towers, Doc Martin and Primeval, as well as all the wonderful reality shows we have, such as Big Brother, I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here! and Wife Swap. It sounds a bit trashy, and maybe my favourite shows aren't, culturally or socially, the most informative or interesting shows, but it's my way of blowing off steam and I enjoy watching all kinds of television programmes.
I also have a passion for pop music. Outside of pop, I like rock, country and some classical pieces. But mainly, I love pop music. My all time favourite pop band has to be S Club, who I feel extremely connected to - even if I haven't met any of them! I have an expanding S Club collection, and I'll love them forever! I also love McFly, Katie Melua and The Rocket Summer.
I'm a member of Youth SVP and a dedicated follower of Fair Trade, and I attend Camp Vincent every year. [2] I'm also looking forward to my second annual Diocesan Pilgrimage to Lourdes. [3]
[edit] On Wikipedia
I lurked on Wikipedia, and made a few IP-edits in late 2005, but finally took the plunge and registered on February 26, 2006. My first edit was on the GCSE article. [4] Since then, I have contributed with over 2,000 edits.
I was a very active editor of the Deal or No Deal (UK) article in my early Wiki-life, however since around Easter 2007, I haven't been as active.
Since June 4, 2006, I have been editing the S Club article, and related articles.[5] I recently rewrote the main article to Good Article standard and I'm working my way through all the other pages, getting them up to a reputable standard. The S Club article is currently under peer review, and I'll be submitting for FAC in the coming weeks.
Generally, I use Wikipedia as a fountain for my knowledge. I look up almost everything I come in contact with, and see how I can improve the page. I like to help out with spelling mistakes, article structure and doing anything I can to make Wikipedia a better place.
