P.S. Please don't ask me to make one of those fancy navbars. You know, the ones with lots of pics. One of my favourite quotes is: → Simplicity is the Ultimate Sophistication.
“ | A diamond in the rough. | ” |
— Today's Motto of the Day

HI! I'm from Hong Kong. I'm a second-year university student, and have been updating this line since I was in primary school.
I joined Wikipedia as a curious child and stuck around for a few years, engaging at various times in content creation, vandalism fighting, motto writing and gnoming. I still remember the excitement of getting each of my fresh, new articles in WP:DYK and looking at the cool citation styles that I created with Wikipedia templates. Nor will I ever forget my involvement with the MOTD when it reached the apex of its development. I wrote a set of guidelines outlining common practice at the MOTD and created some discussion-related templates which were later improved on by User:pjoef and others.
During my teenage years, Wikibooks caught my attention, and I acquired a (notorious) habit of starting book projects but never getting round to finishing any of them. After I went to high school, the stress of the HKDSE overwhelmed me, and I spent all my time on the curriculum, only occasionally dabbling in WP, and using WB mostly for the sake of taking (and sharing) personal notes online.
Oh, and of course - Wikinews. I was very excited about Wikinews for a while, even agreeing to become an administrator at one point. But then schoolwork piled up, I left all Wikimedia projects temporarily, and my admin right was removed, having never once been exercised. I feel bad about it to this day, and to the members of the Wikinews community whom I have disappointed, I offer my deepest apologies, even if you may not read my Wikipedia userpage.
Having entered university, and joined other sites (including several in which I was a regular member at different points), I am still not prepared to resume my early teenage level of activity on WP. However, you will still see me editing the occasional article as I browse, correcting typos, adding {{fact}}
tags and, who knows, maybe even writing articles from time to time.
Wikibooks remains, to this day, the place on the Internet I call my home, even if I only check back every couple of months. I hope that one day, I will get round to tying some of the many loose ends I left on this site, though only time will tell if I can. I aspire to become a university professor, and I have seen cases of Wikibooks being developed cooperatively in class as a project, which is something I might attempt if my dream is realised.

To-do
Current to-do list:
- Syntax coverage on Wikipedia is, frankly, in a sorry state. I'd like to improve on and expand syntax articles such as quirky subject, ergative-absolutive language, split ergativity, copula (linguistics), control (linguistics), raising (linguistics), switch reference and others.
- Create syntactic ergativity,
Working-Hotelling Procedure, clause chaining, emergence of the unmarked, markedness reversal, typological hierarchy, language economy, gradient grammaticality, Stochastic Optimality Theory... - Improve on and expand analysis of covariance.
