What I Do

[edit] About me:
My name is Jake and I'm a senior at the University of Iowa, majoring in Military Studies (an Individualized Plan of Study in the Interdepartmental Studies department). I came here from Muscatine, Iowa in the east/southeast part of Iowa, on the Mississippi.
[edit] My username:
First of all, I do not hunt fox. This name goes back to the game SOCOM II that has a map called Foxhunt. For awhile, I led a clan called "Foxhunt Masters" that was one of the best clans at this map. However, my PS2 broke and I didn't play the game for about 6 months, my name got erased, and my clan disbanded - since then I've stopped playing SOCOM.

[edit] Recent news
- I've developed a habit of "contributing on-the-go." What I mean by that is I'll read something (say, Homer's Iliad) and when I come to a minor character I'll look it up on here, and contribute any information I have. As opposed to one person researching a topic in-depth and writing up an article all at once, I believe that if many people contribute small amounts of information (citing them as much as possible without going overboard), a person can come along later and rewrite the article in a final form. One person writing an entire article isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it's highly likely that they won't have every single source available all at once. Aside from my personal views on the subject, this seems to be the way the average user contributes - often I'll come along and rewrite an article that has a lot of information fragments.

[edit] Remembering the coding
I recently figured out how to make use of a scrolling References block, so this will help me remember how to do it. Note: it's come to my attention that using this is discourage for various reasons, so if you randomly find this, be cautious about using it.
