“ The information age would replace tired ideas like voting, legislation, and territorial representation with flexible, consensus-driven rules, created by informal communities organized by interest and expertise rather than the arbitrary condition of location. ” — Jack Goldsmith and Tim Wu Who Controls the Internet? Illusions of a Borderless World (2006) ISBN 0-19-515266-2 About me I am currently finishing up my last year as an Information Sciences and Technology major at the Pennsylvania State University (University Park campus). I've been performing with the Penn State Blue Band for the past four years and have been playing the trumpet for twelve years now. More to come soon as I get time to mess around with this page in between copy editing, monitoring recent changes, fighting vandals, and tinkering with random pages I come across that I happen to know bits and pieces about.

Tip of the day... The lead section The lead section is an essential summary of an article, located above the first heading. In the source text (the text in the edit window), a heading looks like this: == This is a heading == The lead section is a very important part of every article. The length should correspond to the overall length of the article: an article of 50,000 characters might well have a three paragraph lead, while one of 15,000 or less should limit itself to one or two paragraphs. The text should give a good overview of the article, but it should also get the reader hooked and interested in learning more. Take a look at some featured articles for inspiration. It is often a good idea to align a representative image with the lead by placing [[File:Filename.jpg|thumb|caption]] just before the first heading. (Filename is the name of the desired file and caption is a description of the image).
