Hi there! My username here is Rosalina2427. I went on Wikipedia for the first time around 2008, but I didn't become a registered user until 2010. In the beginning of my Wikipedia life, I went around hurricane talk pages, constantly forgetting the fact that Wikipedia is not a forum. I was also young, inexperienced, and absolutely naive about Wikipedia itself as an exceptionally annoying WikiKitten. After being warned a few times by more experienced (and extremely exasperated) users, I found my footing and became, well, more experienced and mature on Wikipedia.

Nowadays, I go around undoing vandalism, copyediting, updating tropical cyclone information, and checking out the Teahouse at times when I can squeeze it in to help and guide new users who are just like me back in the day.

Picture of the day

The Continental XI-1430 (often identified as the IV-1430) was a liquid-cooled aircraft engine developed in the United States by a partnership between the United States Army Air Corps (USAAC) and Continental Motors. It resulted from the USAAC's hyper-engine efforts that started in 1932, but never entered widespread production as it was not better than other available engines when it finally matured. In 1939, the I-1430-3 was designated as the engine to power the Curtiss XP-55, a radical pusher-engine fighter design that did not reach production. This I-1430-11 engine is in the collection of the National Air and Space Museum at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C.Photograph credit: Dane A. Penland
