User:Valfarly

Valfarly chanced upon wikipedia and thought "that'll never work"... but after using it a few times, he eventually got sufficently annoyed by a typo to do something about it and on 15th March 2004 hit edit. From there it was a slippery slope to writing articles for things he found no-one else had written about and adding tidbits, factoids and other nuggets of information to previously covered topics. Finds himself correcting spelling and grammar far too often!

Born in 1975, he grew up in Dublin, Ireland.

He is now a resident of San Mateo, California, just outside of San Francisco in the United States of America. He having moved there in September 2015. He has previously lived in Falls Church, Virginia, Dallas, Texas, and Sherman Oaks, Los Angeles, California.

He was married in Dallas, Texas in January 2006. | |-

Tip of the day...

Work faster with keyboard shortcuts

Wikipedia has keystroke combinations that can speed up your work, like ⇧ Shift+Alt+F to "focus" on (jump to) the search box, ⇧ Shift+Alt+M to move the current page and its talk page, ⇧ Shift+Alt+T to open the current article's talk page, ⇧ Shift+Alt+Y to open a list of your user's contributions, and many more. Those are for Windows users. On the Mac OS, press Control instead of ⇧ Shift+Alt. For some browsers, the accesskey is the Alt key instead. For details see Keyboard shortcuts.

Picture of the day

The Mauritius ornate day gecko (Phelsuma ornata) is a diurnal species of gecko in the family Gekkonidae, the common geckos. It occurs in Mauritius, on the main island up to an elevation of 300 metres (980 feet) and on most of the surrounding islands. The species feeds on insects and nectar from flowering plants. It has a typical length of 10 to 13 centimetres (3.9 to 5.1 inches), and can be bluish green, with a back covered with red coloured dots and a head with a T-shaped pattern. This Mauritius ornate day gecko was photographed on the Île aux Aigrettes, an islet of the southeastern coast of the main island.Photograph credit: Charles J. Sharp
