Welcome to Pie4all88's userpage! Wikipedia is my favorite site on the internet, and I can confidently call it "the internet at its best." I've been active on Wikipedia on and off since I found out about it on July 7, 2004, and while I take small hiatuses from it every so often, I always come back for more. As a Wikipedian, I generally contribute by making minor fixes to articles that I stumble across, reverting vandalism and warning the guilty, and making pertinent redirections. Occasionally, though, I sit down and contribute something large. You can find my contributions to Wikipedia here. Note that I am not an administrator of Wikipedia or anything of the sort.

I started the Gaming Collaboration of the week on October 4, 2004, which was an offshoot of Wikipedia's Collaboration of the week (now the Article Creation and Improvement Drive) that focused on improving the quality of Wikipedia's computer and video game-related articles. Unfortunately, I fell away from the project after eight months or so, though it seems to be continuing thanks to the effort of a few key Wikipedians.

As a bit of trivia, I've edited Wikipedia in my dreams and I've purchased a Wikipedia shirt to support and advertise the project.


Without further ado, here are some facts about me:
Real name: Derek
Year of Birth: 1988
Occupation: College student
Interests: Computers (in particular computer (in)security and computer programming), cosmology, Dungeons and Dragons, Fantasy novels, video games, frisbee golf, hacky-sacking, and, of course, Wikipedia!
