My primary editing interests are military and military history related articles, in particular anything to do with current and historic British aviation and naval history. Although I do go around making subtle (and some times not so subtle) edits where I feel necessary.
Beware of those learned in the ways of Sock puppetry. Chronic Sockpuppeteers, such as Chanakyathegreat affectionately known as "The BANNED one", or, "the one who is not so great" are undoubtedly the most stubborn kind to run into!

For this edit, which help to make my headache go away because I've been looking long and hard trying to figure out how to reformat/reword since day 1 of the messy text dump by an ignorant but helpful (good faith, nonetheless) newbie. Good job~! Dave ♠♣♥♦™№1185©♪♫® 16:52, 27 August 2012 (UTC) |
Picture of the day edit
The sword-billed hummingbird (Ensifera ensifera) is a neotropical species of hummingbird from the Andean regions of South America. Among the largest species of hummingbird, it is characterized by its unusually long beak, being the only bird to have a beak longer than the rest of its body, excluding the tail. It uses this to drink nectar from flowers with long corollas and has coevolved with the plant Passiflora mixta. While most hummingbirds preen using their beaks, the sword-billed hummingbird uses its feet to scratch and preen due to its beak being so long.Photograph credit: Andy Morffew
