From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I make a lot of minor edits and do general copy editing. I sometimes, albeit rarely, participate in talk pages. When I do, my posts tend to be prolix. If you see a lot of green bytes with my username attached to it, that is probably me either filling out some citations or posting a talk page message. Though I may be frustrating at times, please go easy on me and remember that I have the best intentions in mind. If any edit of mine appears to be mistaken or incorrect, let me know; I invite criticism, which informs and improves my editing.

As a note, my precisionism is descriptive, not prescriptive. I do not always behave like a precisionist, nor should one expect me to be arguing from a precisionist perspective.

If you mention me anywhere in a discussion, please be sure to notify me. This is especially appreciated if I am not in the discussion, if the discussion is about me, and you do not have good reason to believe I am already aware of it. Thank you.

Tip of the day...
Screenshots

If you need to illustrate an article about software or a website, a good tip is to take screenshots.

In Microsoft Windows, a screenshot of the entire monitor, complete with taskbar, can be copied to the system clipboard by pressing the Prt Sc key. Alternatively, pressing Alt+Prt Sc will copy just the active window to the clipboard. You can then paste the clipboard into a program like MS Paint or Paint.NET using Ctrl+V, and then save it as an image file (for uploading to Wikipedia, for instance).

In Mac OS X, simply prepare your screen to how you want it to look, then hit Cmd+⇧ Shift+3 (not the number pad 3) simultaneously. The new image will appear as a PNG on your desktop. Additionally, if you only want to capture part of the screen, you can hit Cmd+⇧ Shift+4, click and drag over the part of the screen you would like to capture and release, also saving it as a PNG on your desktop.

When uploading, be sure to use an appropriate copyright tag, such as web-screenshot.
