About Me
editWikipedia and I
editHello!
I am Ben Barlow and am new to the world of Wikipedia. Although I have held an account for over a year, I never have pursued the possibility of being a Wikipedia Editor. I'm still learning the basics on the markup language and the general guidelines. I have been doing a lot of reading trying to educate myself with all the information available for editing.
General Statement
editI am currently attending University of Wisconsin–Platteville and majoring in Mathematics with an Actuarial Science emphasis and Business Administration minor. I have a lot of interests that range from Theater, Music, Performing Arts, Guitars, Sports, Songwriting, and General Socializing. I really am the classic case of artsy guy who is decent in the sciences.
