Hello, and welcome to my Wikipedia Userpage. While I have been a registered Wikipedian for going on 7 years now, I've really only been actually participating since October 2007 with a break in 2010. I am a member of several Wikiprojects including WikiProject Human Spaceflight , WikiProject South Carolina , WikiProject Georgia and the WikiProject Utah . I jump around from one subject to another depending on my current interest, (which can change quickly) working what looks like it needs help. I generally stick with subjects that I love like Rocketry , Spaceflight , Electronics , Robotics , Geography and the states of Illinois , South Carolina , Utah and Georgia .
In the short time I've been here, I have found that Wikipedia is quite addicting, specially for an information junkie like myself. I can spend several hours a day here, either working on an article or just reading. So am I a Wikipediholic ? According to the Wikipediholism test I am "really overdoing myself. I need to take a wikibreak for a few days." I scored a 3331 on the test. How about you, what is your score?

Wikipedia Picture of the Day
Charles Henry Turner (February 3, 1867 – February 14, 1923) was an American zoologist , entomologist , educator, and comparative psychologist , known for his studies on the behavior of insects, particularly bees and ants. Born in Cincinnati , Turner was the first African American to receive a graduate degree at the University of Cincinnati and among the first African Americans to earn a PhD from the University of Chicago . He spent most of his career as a high-school teacher at Sumner High School in St. Louis. Turner was one of the first scientists to systematically examine the question of whether animals display complex cognition, studying arthropods such as spiders and bees . He also examined differences in behavior between individuals within a species, a precursor to the study of animal personality . This 1921 portrait photograph of Turner is in the collection of The Crisis , the magazine of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP).
