[edit] About me

My name is Willie H. from Newport News, Virginia, where I have lived all my life. I enjoy living on the Virginia Peninsula, and have no real desires to live anywhere else, maybe because I have never lived anywhere else.

The name no1lakersfan is derived from when I used to believe that I like the Los Angeles Lakers much more than anybody else. I knew this wasn't true, but wanted people to know who my favorite sports team was. This dated back to when both Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal were both playing for the Lakers and won three straight NBA titles from 2000-2002. Now, I don't watch basketball as much, for various reasons, not just because Shaq and Kobe are not on the same team anymore.

I am also a fan of the New York Yankees baseball club, not just because they are such a good team, but because they are able to piece together players from many different teams and have them work together well in order to win.

Since I am from the Hampton Roads area, I am also a fan of New York Mets 3rd baseman David Wright, who grew up in Chesapeake. I liked watching him play for the Mets' former AAA minor league baseball farm team, the Norfolk Tides of the International League.

[edit] Interests and Contributions

I am an avid sports fan, and I like to play fantasy sports. I am also very interested in computers and how they work, and how the Internet works.

For the most part, I have been writing or adding to articles related to Hampton Roads, the Virginia Peninsula, and Virginia itself. Having been raised in Newport News, Virginia, I attended the Newport News Public Schools. I graduated in June 2007 from Woodside High School, and I helped to create the information for the article about that school. I also created a page about the AAA Peninsula District, the Peninsula's High School sports mainstay. I am now in the Engineering School at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, Virginia, planning to major in Computer Science.

I liked to participate in sports at the school, namely basketball and baseball. I was able to watch history unfold with Woodside's Boys Basketball team winning two straight Virginia High School League AAA titles. I was also a good friend of the basketball coach, as he was one of the teachers at my elementary school, located in front of Woodside.

I have also been involved with the Boy Scouts since I was a Cub Scout. I am now an Eagle Scout, which is something very important to me.

One way that Scouting has changed me is that I like to help out others. This is one of the reasons why I have decided to join Wikipedia, so that I can share my knowledge with others in order to help them find information about a wide variety of subjects.

While writing for Wikipedia, I have learned more about sports and other subjects that are interesting to me. I have found a lot of history about certain things as a result of my time spent here. I do not know that there is another site out there that has such a wide variety of information.

I have many Wikipedia:Userboxes, which have become too numerous to list on this page. I have moved them here.

[edit] Suggestions

I am now an experienced user, and like to get involved with more advanced tasks. However, I am not fully experienced with all the formatting techniques employed here, as they are different from HTML. As I learn the different aspects of formatting, I hope that I can provide state of the art articles.

If you feel that you can be of assistance, feel free to contact me. I am open to all suggestions, as that is what helps me make what I do better.

[edit] My Contributions

Right now, I have written several articles, and edited or expanded other ones that I had more information for. I have also made sure that all links in articles that I have written are accurate. I have had to change a few, only to make the site better. I want the site to be as truthful as possible, and good links are also part of that.
