Salutations my fellow humans (I'm stupid noob...) Randfan|click me, speak to me

Welcome to my user page! I'd thank you not to delete/change anything in here without my permission! I'm obviously a ðWoT fan! Needless to say, I'm a bibliophile. But I will try to help Wikipedia as much as I can. I am somewhere from 5 and half years old to 87 thousand years old. I became a member in the year: A.U.C. ^(1*) (Latin) 2759 and I live in a universe. To see what organizations I'm a member of on WP go here or to see who I've "adopted" go here. I'll come around to making some more stuff for this later quite possibly never...

^1*A.U.C.

(abbr. Latin.): ab urbe condita (from the founding of the city [of Rome, traditionally regarded as 753 B.C.]) or anno urbis conditae (in the year from the founding of the city [of Rome, traditionally regarded as 753 B.C.)

Tip of the Day

Hooray for the tip of the day!

Tip of the day... Lead Section Size The lead section of a Wikipedia article is the section before the first heading. The table of contents, if displayed, generally appears between the lead section and the first subheading. Rule of thumb: If a topic deserves a heading or subheading, then it deserves short mention in the lead. The lead section should contain up to four paragraphs, depending on the length of the article, and should provide a preview of the main points the article will make, summarizing the primary reasons the subject matter is interesting or notable. The lead should be capable of standing alone as a concise overview of the article, should be written in a clear and accessible style, should be carefully sourced like the rest of the text, and should encourage the reader to want to read more. The following table has some general guidelines for the length of the lead section: < 15,000 characters medium size > 30,000 characters one or two paragraphs   two or three paragraphs   three or four paragraphs Prior tip – Tips library – Next tip Summary essay: WP:CREATELEAD   Read more: Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lead section   Become a Wikipedia tipster To add this auto-updating template to your user page, use {{totd}}
