User:AVIosad: Difference between revisions

Hi. I am a 19 year-old student at Oxford University, though in between terms I live in Moscow, Russia. My main interests (in life as well as on Wikipedia) are Russian literature and the Enlightenment (again, in Russia in particular, but not exclusively). I am currently revamping my user page, but the old version can be seen here, if you want to know more about me.

If you need to contact me, feel free to visit my talk page.

-== General Information ==
-Good day to thee, stranger. Allow me to introduce myself; perhaps an introduction would add credibility to my words and edits. I was born in [[1988]] in [[Moscow|Moscow, Russia]]. Currently, I am a second-year undergraduate student at [[University of Oxford|the University of Oxford]], reading for a B.A. in [[Russian language|Russian]] (the course is heavily biased toward the study of [[literature]], and I hope in due time to do some major editing in articles concerning Russian writers). My other interests include [[linguistics]], [[history]], and [[philosophy]]. You can contact me on my [[User_talk:AVIosad|Talk page]]; I will reply to you on your talk page to make sure you read my answer.
-=== On the use of [[WP:UBX|Userboxes]] ===
-While I realise that Userboxes may seem very disruptive to some, I consider them an excellent way of quickly relaying information about me to the visitors of the page and also kind of fun. Obviously, I try not to litter the page with such userboxes as can be considered completely unnecessary, although they do slip through occasionally. Please forgive me for this. Also, it just saves me time writing about myself...

-'''Philology'''
