Greetings, I'm Alphathon, and welcome to my user page!

I'm not currently particularly active on Wikipedia. Wherever possible I add information to pages (with citations of course), but the vast majority of my edits are either:

• spelling corrections, basic copyedits, corrections of manual of style errors and fixing of layout errors (usually image stacking).
• the addition/replacement of pictures (you can see some of the pics I have uploaded here). This is especially true of maps.

When I was most active, most of my substantial edits were in the video games-related articles. These days I'm most often found on pages about natural history, palaeontology and taxonomy. I'm also interested in languages/linguistics, computing, science (in general and some more specific topics), history (particularly European/ancient) and heavy metal music, but I'll dabble in almost anything.

• For your recent contributions to the Xbox 360 article (one in need of much tender, loving care), I award you this small token of my appreciation. Please keep up the good work. –xeno^talk 00:43, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
