[edit] About me

[edit] Real me

Hi, I'm CarrotMan (although I'm actually a kid). I have one sister, one kitten (excluding my sister's one) and no fish (my sister has them all, but then, I don't really want fish). I go to a preparatory school and enjoy reading, maths, Latin and Wikipedia! My birthday is in the wet 'n' windy month of November, but hey ho. You'd also be right in guessing that I have a craving for carrots (I adore them). This is undoubtedly because, as a vegetarian, I am without a particular meat to crave. So I turned to carrots (oh, and milk, I love milk).

Please feel free to email me, or leave a message on my talk page.

[edit] Wiki me

I enjoy doing little things like spellchecking and correction of grammar and punctuation. When I'm not on Wikipedia, I'm either vectorising images for the Commons or getting killed multiple times on a MUD. The former of these two I will do on request (I need all the practice I can get), but don't expect instant results.

[edit] Projects

• Starting an article on Carroll diagrams (but not getting very far). I'm now at a bit of a dead end with this, but there we are.
• Doing Wikification with the Wikification wikiproject. My activity here is at a definite low, but I might change that at some time.
• Waiting for replies from a few people.
• Trying to do at least one edit every day. If I don't, I do two the next day (and so on).
• Puzzling over how to get this section down the right hand side of my userpage without making a hash of it.

For a full list of articles I might be working on in the future, see the entry by Suggestbot on my talk page.

[edit] Stuff I can do

If there's anything you don't fancy doing, you'll be pleased to know that I'm quite happy to try my hand at anything you throw at me. Just leave a message and maybe a link to the page in question on my talk page, and hopefully I'll be able to lend a slightly eczematous hand with your problems.

[edit] Vandalism

This page has been edited by someone who was not CarrotMan 1 time. However, I have a strange suspicion that it was my IP address, so no worries there.

If you feel you just have to vandalize this page, make it interesting and polite(-ish) please! I visit some user pages for some reason or another only to find that the users who owned them have left, some because of excessive vandalism. If you are a vandal take heed, no-one likes their life being made hard, and the admins are no exception! You will be blocked for useless and provocative edits!

[edit] Interesting stuff of the day

This is where I put anything interesting I've found recently, be it on the net, on the wiki or somewhere else.

Today's stuff:

• 'Ornithological daguerreotype' gets 325 hits on Google at last count. Why?
