About Me

Hi there! I'm a New Article Booster, Welcomer, and Featured Author on How.com.vn. I like helping out in many different ways, everything from retitling articles, and trying the many tools available on the Community Dashboard, especially the big ones like Recent Changes Patrol. But... that doesn't mean I don't ever use the smaller tools like our spellchecker. If there's any way I can help you with your question about the site, please send me a message on my talk page.

Wondering about my username? It comes from the Arabic word بطريق, which translates to penguin. Still, the bat emoji is cool, so I've set my display name to Bat alongside a bat emoji.🦇

The wiki itself is a busy place, sort of like a busy city, where people are all doing different jobs that make the city function," Herrick continues. "There are tons of activities that people can do, some of which are quite social, all which help the wiki become better. Some examples are: categorizing articles, curating images, selecting videos, expanding articles, clearing out lists of articles that need attention, fact checking, answering how-to requests, writing articles, copyediting, formatting, reviewing edits, etc. ^[2]

Question of the Day

How can something be "new" and "improved"? If it's new, what was it improving on?

Historic Fact of the Day

A man in New York owned a plane, but was not allowed to fly it, because the compass and communication system were broken. The man was so angry, he decided to fly to California just to prove a point. Engineers were flabbergasted when he flew east rather than west! When he landed in Ireland, he realized what had happened.
