Hello!
I'm a twenty-one-year-old undergraduate student of biology with an interest in programming, particularly Perl, PHP and recently Java. I've been a part of Wikipedia since at least December 18, 2002. I'm interested in evolution and ethology. My lab I work in does work on phylogenetic trees, flies (order Diptera, but particularly the subfamily Sepsidae, the dung flies). I mostly do programming stuff.
As a Wikipedian, I'm quite strongly an Inclusionist, particularly of tiny little trivia articles. Oh, and I also hate people who claim to know what the "purpose" of Wikipedia is. It's a wiki, people! It belongs to everybody!
I love cats. Most of the other stuff I once thought I loved, I'm unsure of now, and some of the stuff that I do love, I don't want to put here, but of this I'm sure: I love cats.
I'm also a book-lover. My favourite books are:
- Bridge to Terabithia by Katherine Paterson
- Boy (book) by Roald Dahl
- The Catcher in the Rye by J. D. Salinger
- Jonathan Livingston Seagull by Richard Bach
- The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams
- Freedom at Midnight by Dominique Lapierre and Larry Collins
- Anything by Kenneth Anderson
- The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy
- The Ground Beneath Her Feet by Salman Rushdie
I'm a bit of a movie buff, too! My favourite movies are:
I'm really more of a Wikipedia end-user these days, although I do try to edit/write stuff as and when time permits.
Cheers,
Gaurav
