My real name, of course, is Allen. I am an excellent writer and proofreader, and a native speaker of English. For historical perspective, I joined on 14 Jan 2012, during the SOPA discussion, but I really started editing on 18 Mar 2012. Since I like writing, I like writing on Wikipedia and Wikibooks. I am currently in high school.

Interests: computers, cryptography, languages.

Wikipedia articles I've worked on:

French dip sandwich

I'm working on:

Transportation Economics, in preparation for when it might be featured (see discussion).

US History

Chinese (Mandarin)

I've worked on:

TI-Basic Z80 Programming

Wikijunior:Languages

As you can see by observing my wikiboxes, I am a jack of all trades, and master of none (besides English). I've always earned high marks in English, but my performance in math is more erratic—I can't seem to avoid messing up, although I do, paradoxically, enjoy programming. That must be why I know how to get computers to do the work for me. After going around wikibooks for a while, I've made one observation: There's a wikibook for everything, it's just unfinished. Time to ready your keyboards.

Some of my favorite activities are converting lists to wikitables (Chinese (Mandarin)/Radicals); fixing spelling, grammar, and sentence structure; making things shorter and easier to read; laying out the table of contents of a wikibook (Transportation Economics, Movie Making Manual); and putting {{clear}} in the right place (Department of Fun). My most epic series of edits occurred on Chinese (Mandarin)/Slang.

You're most likely to find me on Wikibooks. I also enjoy reading people's user pages. I down about five a day when I'm editing. You can also look at my user page on Wikipedia, which has more userboxes.
