== '''About Me''' ==
Hi everyone, I'm AreJay.  I've been on Wikipedia since 2004, although I had been contributing to the website as an anon prior to that.  I contribute to a number of different articles on Wikipedia.  I'm a firm believer in [[human right]]s and [[freedom of speech]] and try to ensure that a [[WP:NPOV|neutral point of view]] is maintained on most of the articles that I contribute to. Some of my interests on Wikipedia include
* Geography-related articles on countries, towns and cities
* Creating [[WP:STUB|stubs]], thereby growing Wikipedia's knowledgebase on various subjects
* Providing feedback on [[WP:PR|PR]] and [[WP:FAC]]
* Creating and maintaining [[WP:PORTAL|portals]]
* Creating [[SVG|Scalable vector graphics]] maps
* Creating [[Template:Intricate template|intricate templates]] that are useful to the Wiki community


Feel free to [[User talk:AreJay|drop me a note]] with any questions.
