== About me ==
Hello!  My [[Wikipedia:Username|Wikipedia username]] is [[User:DragonHawk|DragonHawk]].  Feel free to call me that.  My [[True Names|True Name]] is "'''Benjamin Scott'''".  Feel free to call me that.  Most people (myself included) just use "'''Ben'''".  Feel free to call me that.  But please don't call me "That".  ;)

=== My work at Wikipedia ===

In addition to adding major content to articles, I make a lot of [[Help:minor edit|minor edit]]s, and do a lot of copy editing and clean-up work.  I'm particularly fond of cleaning up [[WP:DAB|dab pages]] to conform with the [[WP:MOSDAB|Manual of Style]].

* I've been editing Wikipedia since June 2005.
* [[Special:Contributions/DragonHawk|My edit history]]
* [[/Contribs|Pages I'm particularly proud of]]

=== Obligatory biographical drivel ===

''This is included in an effort to help provide a little context for my work on this [[WP:ENC|encyclopedia]].''

In [[Real life (reality)|Real Life]], I live in [[New Hampshire]], in the [[New England]] region of the [[United States]].  I'm a [[geek]], a professional [[system administrator|sysadmin]] by trade.  I'm big into [[Linux]] and [[Free Software]], and am heavily involved in my local [[Linux User Group|LUG]].  I also know a fair bit about professional [[Microsoft Windows]] administration, although personally, I don't like [[Microsoft]].  I have a good understanding of [[technology]] and [[science]] in general.  Outside of the geek/career stuff, I'm also interested in [[science fiction]], and [[reading (activity)|read]] heavily.  I also like [[music]], especially [[rock (music)|rock]], double-especially [[classic rock]].  My favorite band is [[Rush (band)|Rush]].

It appears people are interested in my username.  No, I didn't get it from [[World of Warcraft]].  I was using the handle "DragonHawk" before there ''was'' a [[Warcraft: Orcs & Humans|Warcraft]].  I think [[Blizzard Entertainment|Blizzard]] stole it from ''me''.  ;-)

I limit my use of userboxes to those which have some relevance to my work as a [[Wikipedia:Wikipedian|Wikipedian]].  I'm here to write an [[WP:ENC|encyclopedia]], not create a [[MySpace]] page.  And the only reason I mention my gender is for Wikipedia discussions — English lacks satisfactory [[gender-neutral pronoun]]s, so this lets people call me "he" if they want.

== Contact me ==

Feel free to contact me!  I am open to suggestions, comments, commendations, and condemnations.  Let me know what you think I'm doing right or wrong.  Or just say "Hi".

You can always leave me a message on [[User talk:DragonHawk|my talk page]].  Even if I don't see it right away, I will still eventually get any message left there.

My [[email address]] consists of my Wikipedia username, at the domain used by [[Google]]'s [[Gmail|email service]].  Anyone who can understand that is welcome to email me.  :-)  Or just [[Special:Emailuser/DragonHawk|use this link to send me email]].  I do prefer the [[User talk:DragonHawk|talk page]] method, though.
