I try to do my part for Wikipedia, although I tend to not really add anything of use to the site besides vandalism reversions and spelling and grammar corrections because everything is already on this ginormomassive (Gigantic + Enormous + Massive) encyclopedia.
I like shiny things.
And I just learned how to actually make a list look like a list on Wikipedia.
I've contemplated the use of my user page as a personal sandbox, but I'm definitely learning stuff from it.
Two date formats are commonly used in Wikipedia articles: December 2, 2009 and 2 December 2009. These are referred to as alphanumeric dates. The first is used in articles with a connection to the United States, and the second in articles relating to most Commonwealth countries (although no preference is expressed for Canada). In articles with no particular national affiliation, to prevent needless edit warring, the established date format should not be changed. However any given article should use just one of the two formats consistently. Dates that are all numeric are highly discouraged to avoid confusion, however if used must be in the YYYY-MM-DD format and never in YYYY-DD-MM format.
