-__TOC__
-==Conservapedia==
-I joined Conservapedia in late April 2007 and started seriously editing in August.
-===What I'm Currently Working on===
-I recently finished my project to create a page on every Supreme Court justice in American history (that we did not have a page on, as well as placing my [[Template:officeholder|officeholder template]] on all those that we did).
-===Full list of works===
-[[User:Iduan/Works]]
-===Highlights of work===
-====Pages====
-A few of the many articles I've really worked on (see all of them at [[User:Iduan/Works]]) are [[Frank Murphy]], [[Nelson Mandela]], [[Barack Hussein Obama]], [[Marquis de Lafayette]], [[Majoritarianism]], [[Waves]], [[Eddystone Lighthouse]], [[XYZ Affair]], [[Congressional Page]], [[Stephen Johnson Field]] and [[HTML table formatting]]. I've also done many universities, including [[University of Maryland|UMD]], [[Boston University|Boston]], [[University of Arizona|Arizona]], [[University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill|UNC]], [[University of Connecticut|UConn]], [[Pennsylvania State University|Penn St.]], [[Johns Hopkins University|Johns Hopkins]], [[Howard University|Howard]] and [[Northern Illinois University|NIU]]. Beyond that I like to spread my edits around and vary them.
-I put a lot of work into [[Nigeria#Structure]] - where I described the structure of the executive, judiciary and legislature. The judiciary is probably the most detailed part I have, simply because I'm most interested in judicial aspects. Ditto with [[John Jay#The Jay Court]].
-====Templates====
-I have created a few templates, the ones I'm most proud of are: [[Template:Template]], [[Template:Baseball|Baseball]], [[Template:USState]], [[Template:NBA]], [[Template:NFLDraft]], [[Template:Officeholder]] (and a bunch of sub-pages for that), [[Template:Supreme Court]] (and every subpage from the Jay to Roberts Courts), [[Template:MLBTeam]] (which I've added to every MLB team) and [[Template:University]] (which I have put on about 131 articles so far).  Some templates that I did not create but I did do a lot of work on are [[Template:Country]] and [[Template:Taxonomy]].
-===Categories===
-I don't work much in this area, but I did help [[User:TK]] clean out [[:Category:Navigation box]] (which was full because of missing <nowiki><noinclude></nowiki> tags on templates - this took a while to find everything, and I also worked a lot on cleaning up [[:Category:Information technology]] - it's now much cleaner because there are specific categories and pages are better organized.
-===My editing style/preferences===
-Basic page format:
-<blockquote><pre><nowiki>Body
-==Notes== (if there are references not used with <ref> tags
-==References==
-==See also==
-==External links==</nowiki></pre></blockquote>
-The above is the same as the format in the [[Conservapedia:Manual of Style]], and it makes the most sense. References are most pertinent to the article text itself, so they go first; see also links are internal, so they go second, and external links go last.
-As far as minor edits go: I do not use [[French spacing]], and I usually remove it where I see it (the wiki software renders it as one space anyway, so it's just an extra character); I also remove [[serial comma]]s.
-References always go outside grammar marks ([[punctuation]]).
-Punctuation does not always go inside quotation marks. For example, periods. If the text enclosed within the quotation marks is a full sentence - the period goes inside the quotation marks. "John said, 'My name is John.'" If not, then the period goes outside: "John said that he was '17 going on 18'."
-Images, unless they are within templates/tables, should always go in thumbs - they should not stand alone.
-Large blocks of text should usually be split up by sections - no one wants to read what looks like 2 paragraphs with 50 sentences. Wiki sections allow emphasis to be added ''and'' they allow clear organization.
-==My Computing World==
-I'm a pretty big fan of [[Mac OSX]] Leopard, but before it came out I was definitely an [[Windows XP|XP]] guy. I think that Spotlight just puts Macs miles ahead of PCs. I use [[Safari (web browser)|Safari]], [[XCode]] (for python) and Smultron (for [[html]]).
