Hello! My name is Liam, but you can call me Gibboboy! I got my username as when I used to live in the wonderful country of Gibraltar. I'm an editor on the wonderful site we know as Wikipedia! I joined on 12th March 2015 and I have been editing wikis about technology, TV stations and many types of machinery! I like listening to BBC Radio 4 (since we know it is for smart people!) and I have a hobby of collecting various retro consoles and computers! I am studying for a GCSE of Computer Science and journalism. I am very glad to be in this community, I hope to see you around! The beginning[edit]Way before I wanted to join Wikipedia, I was an anonymous user editing certain articles. I had a hobby for editing things at school on word processing programs, such as Microsoft Word or OpenOffice Suite. And when I was doing nothing but play video games, and I thought to myself; "Surely there is something else I could do than play Team Fortress 2 all day..." then I went around loking for a hobby, then I thought; "Of course! I like editing articles and work at school"! So I went on to the wonderful and community alive world of Wikipedia! I clicked on the 'Sign Up' button and I created my account known as my username! I first edited the article Steam Machine (as I said I was a fan of TF2) the upcoming games console from the gaming giant Valve. I uploaded a picture of the Alienware version on Wikicommons but unfortantly I forgot not to upload pictures without permission so it got took down in a matter of days. I then started to get the hand of editing many articles like my favourite interests, television broadcasters like the BBC, TV-am and many more. Then I created my own user page, the one that you are reading from right now. It was not as good in the beginning, but then i started getting the hand of editing and the code I was using. Then here i am today! Editing, reading, contributing and most importantly... enjoying Wikipedia! Pictures I contributed[edit]Go here to see my contributed pictures!

Picture of the day[edit]The common moorhen (Gallinula chloropus) is a bird species in the rail family, Rallidae. It is distributed across many parts of the Old World, from Africa to Europe and Asia. It lives around well-vegetated marshes, ponds, canals and other wetlands. A midsized to large rail, the common moorhen ranges in length from 30 to 38 cm (12 to 15 in) in length and spans 50 to 62 cm (20 to 24 in) across the wings. It gives a wide range of gargling calls and will emit loud hisses when threatened. This common moorhen was photographed in the Parc des Chanteraines near Gennevilliers in the suburbs of Paris, France.Photograph credit: Alexis Lours
