My name is Covington. I am from Northeastern US. I am English-, Chinese-, and Malaysian-American. My personal motto isnon videri sed esse (not seeming but being) and my familial motto isnon sufficit orbis (the world is not enough). I hold these words to the bottom of my heart.
I am a moderate Wikipedia user, and I am on Wikipedia almost every day. I love to participate in the inner workings of Wikipedia, such as Wikiprojects and Request for Adminship. I believe that civility and cooperation are the keys to a successful Wikipedia and I do my part to promote these two values. I am completely responsible for my own actions, so feel free send your concerns to me at my talk page.
If I'm not on Wikipedia, I'm either working, in class, on the so-called court (a.k.a. driveway with a hoop at the end) or playingOblivion. I am currently writing a couple of screenplays and trying to start a business.
Among my best friends I am rumored to be of the likes of James Bond, or Aragorn, or even Martin Septim. Sadly, I am neither.
I feel forgotten. I took time off to heal my wrists, and when I come back, I feel like I am forgotten. I posted a message that I would be back, but still, I feel as people thought I disappeared off this planet. Very few people left notes on my talk page. Thank you all who thought about me during my break; I really appreciated it. (^'-')^Covington 01:46, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
The dove is the symbol of the Covington family. It has inspired me to strive for civility. I take complete responsibility for my actions. Please contact me if you have any concerns.
For going out of his way to help another user and showing exceptional WikiCitizenship, I award Covington this Random Acts of Kindness barnstar. _-MoP-_ 04:51, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
I have awarded barnstars to these deserving Wikipedians. Congrats to Dijxtra (AID and AIDbot), Dozenist (dental-related articles), and Go for it! (Tip of the Day and Main Page layout).
A distinguished newcomer award? Some say so ...
Tip of the day...
Accuracy, quality and peer review
We strive to make Wikipedia as accurate and as good as possible. If you see something you know is wrong, be bold and fix it. If you see something that seems wrong, leave a note on the article talk page and remove questionable assertions if no supporting evidence is provided. You can also use a verification template to add a citation needed tag after the text in question.
There is a semi-automated peer review available. The easiest way to install the script is to enable it as a Gadget: go to your user Preferences and check off the MoreMenu, adds Page and User dropdown menus to the toolbar... entry under Appearance and hit save. Each article page will then have a Page and User pull down menu near the top; go to the article; hover on Page; hover on Tools; click on Peer reviewer.
