User:Energy
Hello, welcome to my user page. I joined Wikipedia on May 3rd 2005, but I've been contributing to Wikipedia for at least two years anonymously. For those who it means anything to, my internal ID number is 256444.
About me
[edit]I live in Surbiton, London in the UK, and my interests include law, British constitution, international organisations, science, government, Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Who, as well as bizarre sudden crazes that pop up every now and then. I also do routine jobs, such as watching recent changes and dealing with syntax problems.
I have blocked my email facility, because it has in the past been subject to spam, if you really need to email me something, leave a note on my talkpage (I normally check at least every 4 days) saying you want to email me, then I'll email you, and then you can reply to me with whatever it was you wanted to send me.
Templates
[edit]Please see the following templates I have stored as subpages:
- User:Energy/Box - to use type {{User:Energy/Box|LIPSUM}} where LIPSUM stands for any string of text, and it will type
- User:Energy/Hoverbox - to use type {{User:Energy/Hoverbox|lorem|Ipsum}} where lorem and Ipsum stand for two different strings of text. The lorem string should be what you want to appear on the page, and the Ipsum string what you want to appear when a mouse is hovered over the lorem string. So, using my example above, it types
lorem to see the effect of it you need to hover the mouse over the word lorem.
- You can also change the colour of the text by typing {{subst:User:Energy/Hoverbox|lorem|Ipsum}} and then editing the HTML tags.</nowiki>
- I have also combined the two above templates to make User:Energy/Timebox. This is the template at the top of my page, all you have to do is type {{User:Energy/Timebox}} and it works! Hovering the mouse over it shows the time in short format - but UK style, so 10/03/2004 would be the 10th of March, not the 3rd of October!

1795 Turban Head eagle with original reverse -
1797 Turban Head eagle with heraldic eagle reverse
The Turban Head eagle was a ten-dollar gold piece, or eagle, struck by the United States Mint from 1795 to 1804. The piece was designed by Robert Scot, and was the first in the eagle series, which continued until the Mint ceased striking gold coins for circulation in 1933. The common name is a misnomer; Liberty does not wear a turban but a cap, believed by some to be a pileus or Liberty cap: her hair twisting around the headgear makes it appear to be a turban. The number of stars on the obverse was initially intended to be equal to the number of states in the Union, but with the number at 16, that idea was abandoned in favor of using 13 stars in honor of the original states. The initial reverse, featuring an eagle with a wreath in its mouth, proved unpopular and was replaced by a heraldic eagle. Increases in the price of gold made it profitable for the coins to be melted down, and in 1804, President Thomas Jefferson ended coinage of eagles; the denomination was not struck again for circulation for more than 30 years. These Turban Head eagles are in the National Numismatic Collection at the National Museum of American History.Coin design credit: United States Mint; photographed by Jaclyn Nash
