Hi, I'm a American from North Carolina born in 1990. I'm now a university student, and am completing a Bachelor's degree in Chemistry at a Canadian university.

While not despairing over my homework, I am interested in reading, watching films, visiting amusement parks, and museums, carrying out history research, and working at one of Cedar Fair's 11 major theme parks. Oh, and editing Wikipedia, which I started doing on November 15, 2009.

Some articles/projects I am/planning to contribute to

 * World War II
 * Major League Baseball
 * Singapore
 * American politics
 * Theoretical physics
 * Christianity
 * NASA
 * Numismatics

A sample of books I have read so that you can see where I am coming from
Note: This is not an exhaustive list


 * The Bible, God
 * An Inconvenient Book, Glenn Beck
 * Beyond Einstein, Michio Kaku
 * Do the Right Thing, Mike Huckabee
 * Angels & Demons, Dan Brown
 * From Third World to First: The Singapore Story, Lee Kuan Yew
 * An American Life, Ronald Reagan
 * Harry Potter series, J.K. Rowling

About me
I will state it here, I am a conservative, but not a Republican. I believe in God, I was raised a Protestant, but later converted to a Roman Catholic in 2008. I am (somehow) gifted, and have attention deficit disorder. However, I assure you that I do have a tendency to stray from the traditional views of the Christian right, and I have a very profound interest in particle physics, thanks to people of the likes of Michio Kaku and Stephen Hawking. I also have an interest the history, of the English-speaking world, partly because I only really speak English because I live in America. I am a great admirer of the British empire and hope that the Americans can be as great as the British in how they will go about their business.

Theory of Alpha and Omega

 * "I Am Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last"
 * Revelation 23:13 (KJV)

Ok, this is just a theory that I happened to think of and managed to write it down. This is basically an attempted proof of the Bible verse above, that my friend challenged me to prove. I won't be able to get into this fully, but so far this has turned from a scientific look into the dimensional analysis of mapping timespace onto the 3d world using shadows and beyond that into the sixth dimension, and then the philosophy free will got involved. Thank you, John Milton, and your Paradise Lost. Really, the theory when I finally get it out will involve a lot of the fusion of mathematics, quantum physics, relativity, and God, a kind of faith-based science. Sorry for that ramble...



My view of what Wikipedia should be

 * Wikipedia should be:


 * Unopinionated - Wikipedia should tell what the person, place, or thing is, and not give any commentary. Wikipedia should not be Fair and Balanced but should not comment on anything at all. For example, blogs that report, such as Accuracy in Media, Huffington Post, and Media Matters for America are all opinionated blogs and should not be used. Accordingly, it should not be used to report what "Glenn Beck said the other day that some Muslims might be offended by" and vice-versa.
 * In English - Most articles in English Wikipedia should be written in English. That is, there is no reason to add languages of different origins to anything or anyone that is remotely affiliated with that language unless it means an entirely different thing.
 * Rely on print sources when possible - In general, it takes more of a reputation to get published in print than it is to just set up joesblog.yahoo.com. Yes, and books also have none of that "dead link" problem. So use them if you can.
 * Include both metric and Imperial units - There's nothing special about not using imperial units. There really isn't. Its not more advanced to use the metric system. Americans are Wikipedians too, in fact Wikipedia is based in America.
