Hi, I'm Milton, and I'm a Wikimedia contributor. I am a [[University of Delaware]] undergraduate studying Biology. Besides Wikipedia, I also contribute to Wikibooks and Wikispecies. My main interests are in [[Chinese martial arts]], [[fishkeeping]] and [[fish]] in general, and [[anime]] and [[manga]]. Most of my contributions are fish-related, made possible by the amazing power known as Google Scholar as well as the library. My contribution focus is in topics related to [[catfish]]; since I spend so much time with that, I call such work WikiProject Catfish. Despite not being an actual WikiProject, I think it has a nice ring to it. I may also flesh out other fish articles with the newer, 4th edition of Nelson (2006), ''[[Fishes of the World]]'', as FishBase and most Wikipedia articles currently reference the outdated 3rd edition. |

Hi, I'm Milton, and I'm a Wikimedia contributor. I am a University of Delaware undergraduate studying Biology. Besides Wikipedia, I also contribute to Wikibooks and Wikispecies. My main interests are in Chinese martial arts, fishkeeping and fish in general, and anime and manga. Most of my contributions are fish-related, made possible by the amazing power known as Google Scholar as well as the library. My contribution focus is in topics related to catfish; since I spend so much time with that, I call such work WikiProject Catfish. Despite not being an actual WikiProject, I think it has a nice ring to it. I may also flesh out other fish articles with the newer, 4th edition of Nelson (2006), Fishes of the World, as FishBase and most Wikipedia articles currently reference the outdated 3rd edition.
