Hello! My name is Liam, but you can call me Gibboboy! I got my username as when I used to live in the wonderful country of Gibraltar. I'm an editor on the wonderful site we know as Wikipedia! I joined on 12th March 2015 and I have been editing wikis about technology, TV stations and many types of machinery! I like listening to BBC Radio 4 (since we know it is for smart people!) and I have a hobby of collecting various retro consoles and computers! I am studying for a GCSE of Computer Science and journalism. I am very glad to be in this community, I hope to see you around! The beginning[edit]Way before I wanted to join Wikipedia, I was an anonymous user editing certain articles. I had a hobby for editing things at school on word processing programs, such as Microsoft Word or OpenOffice Suite. And when I was doing nothing but play video games, and I thought to myself; "Surely there is something else I could do than play Team Fortress 2 all day..." then I went around loking for a hobby, then I thought; "Of course! I like editing articles and work at school"! So I went on to the wonderful and community alive world of Wikipedia! I clicked on the 'Sign Up' button and I created my account known as my username! I first edited the article Steam Machine (as I said I was a fan of TF2) the upcoming games console from the gaming giant Valve. I uploaded a picture of the Alienware version on Wikicommons but unfortantly I forgot not to upload pictures without permission so it got took down in a matter of days. I then started to get the hand of editing many articles like my favourite interests, television broadcasters like the BBC, TV-am and many more. Then I created my own user page, the one that you are reading from right now. It was not as good in the beginning, but then i started getting the hand of editing and the code I was using. Then here i am today! Editing, reading, contributing and most importantly... enjoying Wikipedia! Pictures I contributed[edit]Go here to see my contributed pictures!

Milestones and achievements[edit]
Picture of the day[edit]20,000 Leagues Under the Sea is an American silent film directed by Stuart Paton and released on December 24, 1916. Based primarily on the 1870 novel Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas by Jules Verne, the film also incorporates elements from Verne's 1875 novel The Mysterious Island. This was the first motion picture filmed underwater. Actual underwater cameras were not used, but a system of watertight tubes and mirrors allowed the camera to shoot reflected images of underwater scenes staged in shallow sunlit waters in the Bahamas. For the scene featuring a battle with an octopus, cinematographer John Ernest Williamson devised a viewing chamber called the "photosphere", a 6-by-10-foot (1.8-by-3.0-metre) steel globe in which a cameraman could be placed. The film was made by the Universal Film Manufacturing Company (now Universal Pictures), not then known as a major motion picture studio, and took two years to make, at the cost of $500,000.Film credit: Stuart Paton
