Hello, and welcome to my Wikipedia Userpage. While I have been a registered Wikipedian for going on 7 years now, I've really only been actually participating since October 2007 with a break in 2010. I am a member of several Wikiprojects including WikiProject Human Spaceflight, WikiProject South Carolina, WikiProject Georgia and the WikiProject Utah. I jump around from one subject to another depending on my current interest, (which can change quickly) working what looks like it needs help. I generally stick with subjects that I love like Rocketry, Spaceflight, Electronics, Robotics, Geography and the states of Illinois, South Carolina, Utah and Georgia.

In the short time I've been here, I have found that Wikipedia is quite addicting, specially for an information junkie like myself. I can spend several hours a day here, either working on an article or just reading. So am I a Wikipediholic? According to the Wikipediholism test I am "really overdoing myself. I need to take a wikibreak for a few days." I scored a 3331 on the test. How about you, what is your score?

Wikipedia Picture of the Day

Carpocoris purpureipennis is a species in the shield bug family, Pentatomidae. With a length of 11–13 millimetres (0.43–0.51 in), its body color varies from purple or reddish-brown to yellowish. The pronotum angles are black and the pronotum usually shows short longitudinal black stripes, while the scutellum may have some contrasting black spots. The insect's antennae are black and its legs are orange. Both the adult bugs and their nymphs are polyphagous. Adults mainly feed on juices of Cirsium arvense and nectar of Leucanthemum vulgare. These images show top and bottom views of a C. purpureipennis nymph.
