Hello! My name is Liam, but you can call me Gibboboy! I got my username as when I used to live in the wonderful country of Gibraltar. I'm an editor on the wonderful site we know as Wikipedia! I joined on 12th March 2015 and I have been editing wikis about technology, TV stations and many types of machinery! I like listening to BBC Radio 4 (since we know it is for smart people!) and I have a hobby of collecting various retro consoles and computers! I am studying for a GCSE of Computer Science and journalism. I am very glad to be in this community, I hope to see you around! The beginning[edit]Way before I wanted to join Wikipedia, I was an anonymous user editing certain articles. I had a hobby for editing things at school on word processing programs, such as Microsoft Word or OpenOffice Suite. And when I was doing nothing but play video games, and I thought to myself; "Surely there is something else I could do than play Team Fortress 2 all day..." then I went around loking for a hobby, then I thought; "Of course! I like editing articles and work at school"! So I went on to the wonderful and community alive world of Wikipedia! I clicked on the 'Sign Up' button and I created my account known as my username! I first edited the article Steam Machine (as I said I was a fan of TF2) the upcoming games console from the gaming giant Valve. I uploaded a picture of the Alienware version on Wikicommons but unfortantly I forgot not to upload pictures without permission so it got took down in a matter of days. I then started to get the hand of editing many articles like my favourite interests, television broadcasters like the BBC, TV-am and many more. Then I created my own user page, the one that you are reading from right now. It was not as good in the beginning, but then i started getting the hand of editing and the code I was using. Then here i am today! Editing, reading, contributing and most importantly... enjoying Wikipedia! Pictures I contributed[edit]Go here to see my contributed pictures!

Milestones and achievements[edit]
Picture of the day[edit]W. S. Gilbert (1836–1911) was an English dramatist, librettist and illustrator best known for his fourteen comic operas produced in collaboration with the composer Arthur Sullivan. The most popular Gilbert and Sullivan collaborations include H.M.S. Pinafore, The Pirates of Penzance and The Mikado, one of the most frequently performed works in the history of musical theatre. These Savoy operas continue to be performed regularly today throughout the English-speaking world and beyond. Gilbert's creative output included more than 75 plays and libretti, numerous stories, poems, lyrics and various other comic and serious pieces. His plays and realistic style of stage direction inspired other dramatists, including Oscar Wilde and George Bernard Shaw, and his comic operas inspired the development of American musical theatre, especially influencing Broadway writers. The journalist Frank M. Boyd wrote of Gilbert: "Till one actually came to know the man, one shared the opinion ... that he was a gruff, disagreeable person; but nothing could be less true of the really great humorist. He had ... precious little use for fools ... but he was at heart as kindly and lovable a man as you could wish to meet." This cabinet card of Gilbert was produced by the photographic studio Elliott & Fry around 1882–1883.Photograph credit: Elliott & Fry; restored by Adam Cuerden
