User:DNSLOC

Hi, my name is David, and I'm from Brisbane, Australia.

I have donated financially to Wikipedia as I truly believe in it's relevance and usefulness to our education. I encourage you to do the same.

I had recently searched Wikipedia for a term regularly used in my industry, but often the articles quoting that term did not define it. I made a request for the page to be created on Wikipedia, and then I reconsidered and put the effort into creating the page myself.

It has been rewarding to see that page become approved!

I encourage you all to ask yourself if you can contribute knowledge to Wikipedia.

I have been a Wikipedia member since 15:07, 30 March 2011, however it was some time before I had something useful to contribute (that didn't already exist!).

I've now made several small contributions Special:Contributions/DNSLOC.

Thanks for all feedback. I have pasted the template below as recommended by Yasht101.

Speedy deletion nomination of IMAG

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
