The Original Barnstar |
Hello! My name is real name is Stefan Tan. I am a 24/Apr/1988 year old Chinese male living in Singapore.
Generally, I use more or less simple form of English to communicate to get my message across. It's good enough for everyone in whatever level of professional fields they're in to know and understand what I'm saying. My policy in Wikipedia is always try to work towards an agreement, and in which, never do I support any form of edit war or factual debates. I just hate to see things on and off and reverts after reverts. I don't wish to be invited into discussions of an NPOV, politics or any disputed situations. In person, I'm a man with a few words. It's only when I start to write, then I'm a man with a thousand words and thoughts.
I must also say that I occasionally edit Wikipedia articles due to my Architectural studies and workload.
[edit] Stefan's rules of Wikipedia
Over the years, I have edited and noticed how an editor carries out his work; in my pointers, here are some I have created my own set of funny rules... Please note that the following texts are not expressing advocacy.
- A word about links; if it's broke, go fix it.
- To study an editor's real personality, do not go to his userpage, head to his talk page instead. If he/she has more than a dozen administration warnings, rude behavior, personal attacks and goes by his own rules, that editor sucks.
- It doesn't matter if an editor doesn't contribute much; as long he doesn't cause trouble.
- Fights, debates, edit wars, arguments and over excessive editing aren't all useful; fools who are deceiving themselves to be intellectuals seem to do so. These actions decrease the lifespan of the keyboard's sensitivity and bleeds fingers.
- No source, no add. Simple as that. What part do you not understand?
- Your arrogance shouldn't outwit ignorance.
[edit] I am what I like, I am Everything
Well generally, I am one who likes and loves and has passion for anything and everything in the World around me, I like all things God and man creates. I love philosophy, and I believe in intellectual and all kinds social mixes. I am mainly balanced in all fields of all kinds subjects. Most of these fields I enjoy are self-taught approach.
[edit] Art, Music, Photography, Architecture...
In a more specific contrast, Art is my favourite subject, particularly Architecture and Photography. In other fields, I love painting, composing a few instrumental song pieces in my head (though sadly I don't record my melodies down in a piece of paper), acting (Dramas and plays) as well as Voice actor of various cartoon characters.

[edit] Architecture
Well I am currently studying Architecture in Singapore Polytechnic. Among all forms of Arts I enjoy in, Architecture has been a passion of mine since I started drawing skyscrapers and making model buildings out of cardboard boxes and LEGO sets when I was 3. In my humble beginnings, I still remember that I engineered a bridge made out of LEGO bricks to stabilise and work.. many kids tried to hit it down but somehow didn't fall apart... that was in kndergarten. haha... Then when I was a young teenager I usually like to design my own buildings too. I wish to design a great skyscraper or design various building sets someday. Look, start doing, stop fantasizing and make the dream happen! LOL.
Currently, I enjoy studying architectural details of both modern and classical buildings - especially the Renaissance period. I would say it was and is one of the greatest architectural advancements in time. My oh my, just look at the masculine proportions of many sculptures and cathedrals!
I am at large, an all rounded music lover. Though funny thing that I do not play any musical instruments, the only thing I am good for is drumming and playing the Air guitar. Well basically I love Western English music from the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, and today. Preferably the 80s. I am an all rounded music man from a metal head banger to a jazzy, piano, violin and saxophone tune lover. I also appreciate and listen to the oldies and classical compositions like Mozart.

[edit] Photography
Oh yes, how could I ever forget such a great sport? This is my alternative job that I would like to work part-time in a local Newspaper firm. I've been shooting photos when I was 6. I still remember when I first handled a 35mm film camera when was 8; it just gives a strong and overwhelming drive to shoot pictures - A feeling in which I cannot explain... At that time my dad was against me using his expensive camera, he would confiscate it, thinking I might drop it carelessly... Dang. Currently, I own a EOS 400D, a simple 10mp yet effective camera which I own since Oct 2006. Having taken almost 19,000 pictures and won over 10 photographic awards, I personally feel the skill is not in the camera, but you. I have also taken pictures using just my simple Samsung cellphone camera, in which 60% of the pictures taken over the years were in featured musuem galleries in Singapore.
