Hello, this is {{user|Stevey7788}}! But you can just call me "'''Steve'''". I am a scientist, naturalist, linguist, and [[Wikipedia:Wikipediholic|Wikipediholic]] who is eager to document Earth's astounding diversity on Wikipedia as we strive to build the world's largest free online encyclopedia that anyone can edit.

Most of Wikipedia's articles on languages and linguistics were created, expanded, cleaned up, and maintained by me and former admin {{noping|Kwamikagami}}. We are to languages as {{noping|Pvmoutside}} is to living species.

I'm expanding and improving [[Wikipedia]] whenever I can, and have a variety of interests here. Currently, I am particularly interested in the [[languages of Southeast Asia]] and [[Mesoamerican languages|Mesoamerica]].

Wikipedia is not just one of the best reference tools ever created &mdash; it's a great place where everybody can get together, form a community, and write an online encyclopedia together. Although Wikipedia is a great place on the Internet, it's not 100% perfect. But let the encyclopedia writing go on.

;Some of Wikipedia's pillars
*[[WP:5P4]] - includes [[WP:AGF]] and more
*[[WP:5P5]] - [[Wikipedia:Here to build an encyclopedia|'''We are here to build an encyclopedia''']], not to enforce petty rules or engage in silly internal politics.

----

'''Some of my current tasks on Wikipedia include: ''' 
* The usual task of reading, writing, and rewriting articles. I do mainly the cleanup, grammar fixes, section moving, racist tone check/cleanup, and other work.
* RC patroling, sometimes new page patroling
* Creating [[Wikipedia:Redirect|redirects]] and [[Wikipedia:Disambiguation|disambiguation]] pages. Currently, I mainly split or merge pages.
* Patroling the [[Wikipedia:Sandbox|Sandbox]] -- raking out content, putting headers back, fishing out offensive content, checking for vandalism
* Dealing with [[Wikipedia:Vandalism in Progress|vandals]] and warning them
* Welcoming new users and being part of the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Kindness Campaign|Kindness Campaign]]

Anyways, please feel free to edit or improve my page any way you'd like. I'd really be pleased if someone would help re-organize my page for me. :)

== What I've done on [[Wikipedia]] ==
A lot to do, and more to do. All voluntary and often when I'm bored.

=== Contributions list ===
Used to be mainly minor edits and tedious work. Due to the images I have uploaded recently, you may see my contributions list clogged up with uploaded images. 

Before April 2005, redirects were marked as minor edits.

I, [[User:FirstPrinciples|FP]], in my official capacity as nobody-in-particular, hereby bestow upon you, [[User:Stevey7788|Stevey7788]], the mighty and presigious '''Atlas Award''' for your [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&hideminor=0&namespace=4&target=Stevey7788&limit=500&offset=0 dedicated and ongoing work] to ensure that one of Wikipedia's most visible pages &mdash; the [[WP:SB|Sandbox]] &mdash; is sanitary, inoffensive, tidy and welcoming to new [[Wikipedia:Wikipedians|Wikipedian]]s.
</div>

''"The Atlas Award For Raking the Sandbox Clean may be awarded to those who have gone above and beyond the call of duty in fishing disgusting and unwanted items from the Wikipedia sandbox. The Atlas award is named after Charles Atlas and is taken from his 'they kicked sand in my face' advertisement, and is in no way merely a masculine image. It is a symbol of self-empowerment. Charles Atlas was once a self-styled 98-pound weakling, and through his own diligence and effort, became a very succesful businessman and body builder. And his business empire began with the ad that this image is from."''

Well done. -- [[User:FirstPrinciples|FP]] <sup>[[User_talk:FirstPrinciples|<talk>]][[Special:Contributions/FirstPrinciples|<edits>]]</sup> 06:44, May 12, 2005 (UTC)

As a newbie on Wiki, I was amused when somebody wrote a short autobiography on my user page: [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Stevey7788&oldid=10211686 '''All about Steve the Vandal''']
