Hello and welcome to my user page. My name is '''Danny Chia''', but you can call me '''Danny'''. Before you ask, I am not related to the [[Danny Chia|Malaysian golfer of the same name]]! You can learn about me and my Wikipedia contributions here. |
|||
== About me == |
|||
I was born on October 10, 1985 in [[Mountain View, California|Mountain View]], [[California]]. Since my parents were born in [[Taiwan]], I am an [[Asian American]]. Unfortunately, I was born slightly [[autism|autistic]], but I was able to enter regular education through my efforts. I can speak [[Mandarin (linguistics)|Mandarin]] although I cannot understand [[Chinese language|Chinese]] characters too well! |
|||
I attended [[Egan Junior High School]] from 1998 to 2000 and graduated from [[Los Altos High School (Los Altos, California)|Los Altos High School]] in 2004. Currently, I am an undergraduate [[Engineering Science]] student at the [[University of California, Berkeley]]. |
|||
=== Interests === |
|||
I have many interests in a large variety of things. You may see me editing articles related to them! |
|||
==== Academia ==== |
|||
Anything related to science or mathematics in general usually interests me, but [[chemistry]], [[physics]], [[astronomy]], [[geology]], [[cryptography]], [[computer science]] and [[number theory]] are among my favorite subjects. I also like [[computer programming]] with languages such as [[Visual Basic]], [[Java (programming language)|Java]], [[JavaScript]], [[MATLAB]] and [[Scheme (programming language)|Scheme]]. |
|||
==== Entertainment ==== |
|||
I listen to many types of music, including [[techno music|techno]], [[trance music|trance]], [[European classical music|classical]], [[choir|choral]], [[video game music]] and some [[New Age music|New Age]], especially nature music. One of my favorite music companies is {{plain|[http://orangetreeproductions.com Orange Tree Productions]}}. |
|||
I also like watching action films like ''[[Armageddon (film)|Armageddon]]'', ''[[Pearl Harbor (film)|Pearl Harbor]]'' and ''[[Independence Day (film)|Independence Day]]''. Science-oriented television shows (such as ''[[MythBusters]]'' and ''[[Cosmos: A Personal Voyage|Cosmos]]'') and [[docudrama]]s like ''[[Supervolcano (docudrama)|Supervolcano]]'' also appeal to me. |
|||
==== Hobbies ==== |
|||
I love playing [[video game|video]] and [[computer game]]s in my free time and I was a player moderator on the online game ''[[RuneScape]]'' from June 2004 to October 2007. My hobbies also include high-powered [[laser]]s, [[model rocket]]ry, consumer [[firework]]s and [[pyrotechnics]] in general. |
|||
==== Other ==== |
|||
As a nature lover, I frequently hike in the [[mountain]]s and [[forest]]s. I like the American deserts as well, provided that the weather is not too hot! My family enjoys going to [[national park|national]] and [[state park]]s, which you may have seen me editing articles about! |
|||
== Wikipedia stuff == |
|||
I discovered Wikipedia while looking for information on [[QuakeC]]. I <span class="plainlinks">[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=QuakeC&diff=347474&oldid=347455 vandalized]</span> that page when I was new, but since I did not know how to revert edits at the time, I made the article even better! |
|||
From then on, I have been creating and improving many articles as well as reverting vandalism. Since I believed [[knowledge]] should be free, I decided to become a regular contributor. I initially contributed under two "anonymous" IPs before I decided to be more involved. I registered my account on December 14, 2002 and was promoted to an [[Wikipedia:Administrators|administrator]] on September 21, 2005! I will continue to improve Wikipedia as appropriate. |
|||
=== Wikipedia tasks === |
|||
You may see me doing the following tasks from time to time: |
|||

|||
* fixing [[Wikipedia:disambiguation|disambiguation links]] |
|||

|||
* closing [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion|AfDs]] |

|||

|||

|||
* {{user|Falcorian}} - Alan's former roommate, Alex |

|||

|||
I also contribute to various other wikis, both Wikimedia and non-Wikimedia ones alike. There are way too many of them to name! |
