Intro

Hi! I am Abelmoschus Esculentus (of course not my real name, I chose this because I like it) from Hong Kong. You will often see me reverting vandalism, reviewing pending changes, reviewing AfC submissions and creating redirects. I also design userboxes (see here). I try to AGF all the time, but I found myself couldn't. My alternate account is User:Abelmoschus Esculentus (alt), it is used mainly in public computers. Feel free to hang around here. Cheers.

My personal wiki habits

1. USING ALL CAPS EVERYWHERE. ALTHOUGH I LOOK LIKE SHOUTING, I AM NOT. (just kidding, I do that sometimes but not too often)
2. Placing a talkback template on IP's talk page if (s)he left a message in your talk page and you replied. Pinging when (s)he is a registered user.
3. Read first, edit second.
4. Delaying reverts a bit when trolls or POV-pushers still edits after several warnings or a long time. Time delaying is the best way to deal with them since they are easily bored. This does not apply to vandalism since they must be reverted immediately.
5. Showing no mercy to vandals, vandals blaming their little brothers, trolls, LTAs, sock puppets and rude IPs.
