Hello. I'm FlamingTomDude.

I love history, which is why I'm an avid user of Wikipedia. I love maps and seeing how things used to be (i.e. the European colonial empires).

I started using Wikipedia a lot after I began an extra-credit assignment for my history class. I had to invent a country and write a history for it that dated back to medieval times. So I took a chunk of land from in between Spain and France and called it Noitan. It's language was English backwards, hence the name (Noitan is Nation backwards). I used Wikipedia to get dates of events right (mainly from the year 1400+) and ended up taking all the vital information from the Portuguese Empire and changing it to the Noitanic one (aside from the Iberian Union).

All in all the work is still in progress but so far I have created a family tree (608 years worth of people) for the royal family and I have begun work on a timeline (which will be from 1400-2008).

Other Info: I love NBC's Heroes and am ahead of the rest of New Zealand in watching it (illegal online videos are terrible quality by the way). It's my favourite show, and FlamingTomDude is my username on the very official (yet still unofficial) Heroes Wiki. I advise all Heroes fans to join Heroes Wiki; they have a huge amount of information based on Canon sources and change said information as the show does. It's regularly updated and the Admin team is very helpful.
