First edit
Well, I'm still a complete novice at editing Wikipedia articles, but after many years of "lurking" here, I finally created my first one. It's the simple English version of the Hebephilia article. Nothing fancy, just a very short, simple English article containing a few sentences to fill the void that existed before the simple English version was written. It was much harder than I expected to write "simple English" than the usual academic and professional English I use regularly. So far, it's only a very quick, unpolished article, but I hope to improve it soon. Consider it a place-holder in the interim.

I'll also figure out how to add references (does one need to add references to Simple English Wikipedia? I'll check that, too) and a link to the full article. Author99 (talk) 13:27, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

Hello!
Hi, I'm Author99, for lack of a more imaginative user name. I'm a postgraduate research student and very, very, very junior academic staff member at a great university, but my Wikipedia involvement is mostly due to my interest in knowledge sharing and creation, communities of practice, and an academic desire to fix up a few things in my areas. Specifically, I have interests in sexology such as Hebephilia, social constructions of sexuality, origins of femininity, discourse and depiction of beauty, femininity and sexuality, and research methods in sexual health. I also have personal interests in art (painting and sculpting), and classical music.

Feel free to say "hello". I'm friendly and I don't mind if you have problems with any of my edits here. You're more than welcome to disagree, so let me know!
