-==Conservapedia==
-I joined Conservapedia in late April 2007 and started seriously editing in August.
-===What I'm Currently Working on===
-Creating pages on every Supreme Court justice in history.
-===Highlights of work===
-====Contest====
-In four contests, I have compiled 2336 points. My record is in the [[Conservapedia:Contest5]] - where I compiled 1131.
-====Pages====
-A few of the many articles I've really worked on (see all of them at [[User:Iduan/Works]]) are [[Frank Murphy]], [[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.
-===Full list of major works===
-[[User:Iduan/Works]]
-===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.
-I have a fairly hard to explain view of categories - but I firmly believe it should be the universal view. Say there is a Category, Category:Apple Inc., that is part of a larger Category, Category:Information technology. The article that is specifically on Apple Inc, and thus encompasses all of aspects of the Category, should be the ONLY article within that category to be in the super-categories that Category:Apple Inc. is in (i.e. Category:Information technology).
-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]]).
