User:Wrad

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A picture of me.

I began editing in August 2006. For now, I am studying Arabic and English Literature. I am an avid researcher and have contributed to a variety of wikiarticles including ones on Alaska, Arabic and Arabs, Kansas History, etc. Recently, however, I have focused more on Shakespeare articles. I'm pretty big on organization issues, and have access to several scholarly and other library databases, if you need something read or researched.

Also, for the record, User:Tea and crumpets is my sister, and User:Jmob22 is my brother. We have similar interests, and thus sometimes end up working on the same articles. Please keep this in mind if you are involved in edits/discussions with us. Although we do try to maintain a certain degree of separation on wikipedia, this is not always possible, since we know each other so well and hold many of the same opinions.

So far my favorite Shakespeare plays are: Tragedy—Macbeth, Comedy—A Midsummer Night's Dream, History—Henry V, and Romance—Cymbeline. My least favorite plays are his Troilus and Cressida and Love's Labours Lost, as well as Timon of Athens. My favorite characters are Horatio, Banquo, Henry V/Prince Hal, Portia, and Imogen.

[edit] What does "Wrad" mean?

So what does my username mean? Well, you can click here or here, or you can go with my definition, which is: "A word created out of exasperation after several dozen attempts at a Yahoo username."
