User:Platypus222
[edit] Basic Info
Hi, everybody. This is Platypus222, as a username, or Platypus Man, as a name. Not sure what to say... Well, I started on Wikipedia in March 2005. As I traverse the great web of information that is Wikipedia, I correct any grammatical, spelling, or factual errors I see, making me like a WikiGnome. Any actual new information that I add and contributions I make (see below) are usually about video games, or something else that I know a lot about.

This user's favorite animal is the Platypus. |
Ever since I've joined Wikipedia, I have seen the power of a Wiki. When everyone pools their resources, it is be truly amazing what can be accomplished. This is what the Internet should be like (without vandalism, of course). So, I've joined a few more:
Here is my article at Memory Alpha, a Star Trek wiki, where I do some work. Used to do more...
I have also joined Lostpedia, a Wiki about Lost. Not as nice or big as this place or other Wikis, but it offers a lot. My page.
I donated $30 to Wikipedia on December 19, 2008 -- my donation.
As of 2011, I'm not nearly as active on Wikipedia as I once was, but I still edit where I see fit and I bask in its awesomeness. On a regular basis.
[edit] About me
Well, the first thing you should know is that I have a strange perfectly normal liking towards the duck-billed platypus, thus the name. I graduated from from North Carolina State University in Raleigh, North Carolina, majoring in computer science. After graduating, I moved to Cleveland, Ohio to work at MRI Software, where I am a Software Engineer. I have been called a "grammar nazi;" I am. I don't deny it. I am an atheist and proud of it. I spend my spare time playing video games and doing Internet stuff, especially as a Starred Commenter and fan-favorite on Lifehacker (*cough* here *cough*). I'm also fond of the programs of a televisual nature.
By the way, my first cousin, seven times removed, is Davy Crockett and my first cousin, four times removed is Dr. Peter Shillock, body snatcher. An interesting sidenote...
For future reference, if you see Platypus222 (or sometimes Platypus Man) on nearly anything, it's me. Because I'm that cool.
