I also regularly edit other websites operated by the Wikimedia Foundation (and a couple of other websites based on the MediaWiki platform. My core contributions, however, are on Wikipedia, and at one point, I found myself doing more work on the Simple English Wikipedia than the standard English Wikipedia - for the benefit of helping people learning English as a second language.
Believe it or not, I make edits on Wikimedia sites in languages that I don't know - including the East Asian languages known to natives as nihongo and hangukeo. You might be wondering what I do on these sites. The answer is that I mainly help fight the common phenomenon on wiki sites known as "vandalism".

I am a loyal fan of Microsoft Corporation and a member of their Insider program.[citation needed] So you'd probably not be surprised to learn that I use its products and services, including Microsoft Office and Skype. (I would like a Surface Go for Christmas, by the way...if only it wasn't this expensive...[opinion]) And did you know that my laptop (and previously my tablet and smartphone) all run (you guessed it) Microsoft Windows?[original research?]

I am an alumnus of a university[clarification needed] that has lent me a laptop for four years[needs context] and sold it to be me for a buck[ambiguous] upon graduation[when?]. It had ran several OSes[disambiguation needed] over the years - from what I can remember, I first got it when it ran Windows 7 Enterprise but it was later upgraded to Windows 8.1 Enterprise and in turn Windows 10 Enterprise.[according to whom?]
While I was studying, it was always joined to a domain,[where?] and once it became mine, I somehow ended up getting (and activating a licence for) Windows 10 Education[clarification needed] as well as Office 2016 (when it should have been Office 365. Would be a deal or no deal?[buzzword]) I want to convince my parents[who?] to purchase a bunch of accessories to build a personal workstation ASAP[when?] -specifically, an original docking station to which I will connect both a monitor that natively supports multi-touch[which?] and a pen display to mess up my screen.[unbalanced opinion?]
As if that wasn't enough, I am in possession of (and until early 2018, regularly used) a smartphone[example needed] which runs the now-neglected[neutrality is disputed] software called Windows Phone[why?] but as much I want to thank you again, Microsoft, for promising an upgrade to Windows 10 Mobile[need quotation to verify] - unfortunately I wanted to blame you M$FT[dubious – discuss] for breaking your promises over and OVER and OVER and OVER![how?] I will not do so because I do not want to get blocked again whether for evasion or anything else.[further explanation needed]
Here's what I ended up doing: "Throw It in the Bag"[needs copy edit] and replace it with a Nokia 6 (with the Microsoft Launcher and of course, Bing as my default search engine and Microsoft Edge as my default web browser[who else?] - all so I can get enough Microsoft Rewards points[quantify] to buy a Windows Store gift card to pay for Staffpad[dead link] (a scorewriting app that makes use of a stylus/active pen/digital pen).[jargon]
10 Quick Facts about me! I am (as of August 2024):
[edit]- a Canadian-born Chinese living in the Agincourt North neighbourhood Scarborough, Ontario - my father is of Taishanese heritage and my mother immigrated here 30 years ago as part of waves of mass migrations from Hong Kong - and the only one in my family to emigrate before the influx caused by the Tiananmen square protests of 1989
- extremely fluent with Canadian English as my native tongue and have previously studied four years of Canadian French in high school - although my parents try to prevent me from losing my knowledge in Cantonese and Mandarin and had me regularly watch Fairchild TV and/or listen to Fairchild Radio during mealtimes
- a graduate from the software engineering program at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology in Oshawa (but slacked off quite a bit with my capstone course); later on, I got hired by a company renowned for its unique model of recruiting fresh graduates (like me!), training them to become IT consultants, and placing them with clients
- fascinated with information technology and computing in general - the fact that one of the courses I took recently was about mobile devices has made me excited alone despite my struggle in programming language named after coffee
- a huge follower the latest news about big-name information technology companies - aside from Microsoft, I also track new products from its original equipment manufacturers (e.g. Lenovo, HP, Dell, and above all, the maker of my phone)
- a subscriber to websites like Engadget, Mashable, and The Verge - but if I had to name one over the rest, the site Windows Central which offers lots of free goodies for readers (such as the latest Surface Pro despite its despicable price tag)
- filled with gifts and talents - for example, I have produced a number of doodles and technical drawings mainly about transportation and specifically public transport and am an active railfan (you might have noticed me editing a lot of rail-transport-related pages recently
- participating in a variety of sports - I have played soccer, basketball, badminton, and have hundreds of laps of swimming under my belt, believe me, though I have no intention to be a professional athlete - I'm even reluctant to take martial arts classes even though I have done so in the past
- an avid pianist with my ARCT-level performance diploma from RCM Examinations - I recently joined a worship band at my church and aspire getting into jam sessions, becoming a musician by night (though my schedule may make this difficult to achieve, at least in the near future)
- so excited to contribute to Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia! Great things are in store for me if and only if I become an administrator, which is (unfortunately) unlikely for a reason that appears somewhere else on this page.
One more thing...
