You're very welcome to leave a message on my talk page to let me know if I need to fix anything, if you have any questions about an edit I've done, or if you think I can help you with something (if I can't I'll try and point you towards someone/something that can) that's probably the place to ask.
You can view my voting rationale here. Link for self-use: [[User:Petros471/RfA criteria|my RfA criteria]]
Considering becoming an admin? Feel free to ask me if I think you'd be suitable. When I think you'd be ready (I might provide some suggestions before that) I'd be happy to nominate you. (RFA reviews subpage)
As Femto says: "Male, European, and already paranoid about giving away this much information." Well I'm a bit less paranoid than he is, so I can tell you I'm male, British, and have an age of somewhere between 10 and 100. Also if you're really interested I've released rather more than that out to the big world wide web.
Contact!
The best way to contact me is usually by leaving a new message on my talk page. There's nothing like a big orange bar to get my attention, and messages there will probably get the fastest response. You can also email me. I will try to reply as soon as possible (I reserve the right to not reply to personal attacks or other emails of that nature). However expect my response to be slower than messages to my talk page, and preferably leave email to messages that have a good reason to be private (or when you can't edit my talk page because of a block). Please include your Wikipedia username so I know who you are. Thanks.
Important: If you are emailing me about a block, make sure you include your username (if applicable), IP address and the block reason.

Templates are a type of page that contain boilerplate text that is intended to be displayed on more than one page in Wikipedia.
This Tip of the day box is an example of a template (there are several versions actually), and besides being displayed here it is displayed on many userpages as well.
Template names start with the prefix "Template:" followed by the page name. The main version of the template you are reading right now is called "Template:totd".
To display a template on a page, go to the target page, click "edit", and add the template's name (with or without the prefix) surrounded by double curly brackets to the page's source text. (The text you see in the edit box when you click edit this page is called "source text", because it is a lot like programming code, which is called "source code").
Including a template on a page in this way is called "transclusion". Here's an example:
To include the Template:Philosophy topics, type this at the end of the philosophy article you wish to place it on::
