My Wikipedia introduction

I have been using Wikipedia for a couple of years now. Mainly I was interested in the ability to conduct research. At first I use it to find song names I was trying to download. I could count on finding the song title I was looking for. That did lead to random browsing of different things about the site. I really never intended to have an account because it doesn't really suit my interest. For personal reasons, Elizabeth Taylor's death changed one thing. Suddenly I wanted to be part of her story. At first a small part would be fine. But I am finding, what many of you must already know; There is something about doing it that makes you want to continue. I'll make my share of mistakes. I have already made one. When the next guy removed my edit, I did understand their reason, so it was right that they did. I'm glad they didn't make me look foolish in the process. So when I do make a mistake, let me know, I'm generally a pretty fast learner. I have a slight proficiency with programing language. And if I get a small chance to demonstrate an improvement, it would be great to see it done. My first impression of a possible bug is in the manner pages render with my browser (Firefox). In choosing my account name, I do have brown eyes. But it became my screen name after I had tried 5 or 6 other names, which were nice, but of course, already taken. Finally I just entered that fact it came through as my account. Now that I have the name, I am starting to like it. I've met two nice people, and that ain't bad for starters. I may even have met a third nice person, but didn't feel their niceness. If you see this, remember I had just been frustrated for an extended duration, so I wasn't the nicest person either. I do believe, unless I'm carried out on a rail, I'll be using this account semi regularly. There are times when I will be away for a few days. For sure if you ask me a question, I should respond within 1 week. That's around the longest I might be away. I have also activated my email so you can contact by that means if you want. So I have introduced myself properly. I hope to be the kind of person that earns the respect I seek. I mean to say I respect the people who are before me. I will learn what I can from them. And if I do it right, I should become as respectable. From here I will follow the lead, and hope to speak when it is my turn. And probably learn to not speak when it is out of turn. I will answer certain questions if someone is compelled to ask, But I will state; I prefer to be mainly anonymous. I don't want to feed any stereotype or prejudice. It should not matter if I am a guy or a lady, white or black, Muslim or atheist. If I truly do good, there should never seem to be a bias coming from be, nor an answer to a question of these things. My one bias is the truth, or the best answer. So everybody, tell everybody; IHaveBrownEyes is in the house.
