User:Jared/Welcome

BIENVENUE! Hello, I'm Jared and I live in Connecticut, United States. I am a high school student interested in pursuing a math- or science-related field.

I began editing Wikipedia on December 13, 2005; my edit count didn't start rolling, however, until early February of the next year.

I am mostly interested in editing Olympics-related articles, as I have made extensive edits in that field. I'm not so sure why, though, because I wasn't nearly as interested in the Games before I became a Wikipedian. Maybe it's just the "passion of the games." I have also extended my interest in the Olympics to many other multi-sport events like the Pan American Games, the FINA World Championships, etc.

In addition to sports pages, I like working in the Wikipedia namespace. There, I'll work on cleanup tasks, Wikiprojects, and give my input into various discussions. Occasionally, I'll do some lengthy work on Portals and Templates.

Away from Wikipedia (yes, I have a life outside of Wikipedia), I play the saxophone and the piano, the latter of which I play quite well. I enjoy reading Popular Science articles about technology and space science. Photography, while not my forte, is one of my favorite pastimes.

Other random information about me includes that I am a loyal Patriots and Red Sox fan, I think President Bush is doing and has done a fine job as leader of my country, I have a yellow lab and two cats, I make high honors in school, je peux parler français (un peu)... (the list goes on)

Feel free to make any edits to this page that will make is aesthetically better! I am always willing to help out too, so PLEASE don't hesitate to contact me on or through e-mail!
