Welcome

Hello everyone and welcome to my use page. I am A Raider Like Indiana. I am a 16 year-old US Resident, born on September 11, 1991 (16)

For me, joining Wikipedia was a great opportunity to help out others and get to share my knowledge of different Wikipedia articles. I first laid my eye on Wikipedia in the summer of 2004. Since then, I did not join. Instead, I was anonymous under my static IP Address until I registered on April 3, 2007. Furthermore, for those who wonder why I hesitated to join and waited a few years; I did not have the time and for me, it wasn't worth it. But, of course that changed when I found out the numerous of opportunities Wikipedia and the Wikimedia foundation had for their registered users.

* My Recent RfA. It was too early for me to self-nominate my self. I knew I wasn't going to achieve after I reached 10 opposing and 5 neutral votes. But for those who supported me for some reason, thank you. I will take each advice that you gave me and try again later this year around December or maybe even January.

I recently joined the Wikipedia 1.0 Editorial team to help improve the work of the core articles. The WP ads are now located on top of my page.

Since I joined Wikipedia, I have gained well over 1000+ contributions. Some of the major articles I work (to improve the work of quality and other reasons) are:

Thank you for all your excellent edits to all the Fergie (singer)-related articles. Keep it up; your edits are appreciated. :) Acalamari 01:49, 5 April 2007 (UTC)


Smile a little, smile a little, all along the road;
Every life must have its burden, every heart its load.
Why sit down in gloom and darkness with your grief to sup?
As you drink Fate's bitter tonic, smile across the cup.

Smile upon the troubled pilgrims whom you pass and meet;
Frowns are thorns, and smiles are blossoms, oft for weary feet.
Do not make the way seem harder by a sullen face;
Smile a little, smile a little, brighten up the place.

Smile upon your undone labour; not for one who grieves
O'er his task waits wealth or glory; he who smiles achieves.
Though you meet with loss and sorrow in the passing years,
Smile a little, smile a little... even through your tears!

Ella Wheeler Wilcox

Thank you so much for the beautiful gift! ;)
Have a beautiful day, my dear Raider!
(by the way, that's the best username I've seen in ages! ;)

Love
