From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Disinterested intellectual curiosity is the life blood of real civilization." G. M. Trevelyan (1876-1962), 1942. (disinterested in the sense of having no stake in the matter.)
You may call me Hu. I like playing Go (board game) on KGS Go Server, zen, programming, music, ..., not an unusual list. I am a Librarian at the Go wiki Sensei's Library.

Other Work

[edit]
The Original Barnstar
I award you The Original Barnstar for your numerous article creations and your countless useful edits. Keep up the good work! Happy editing, Dar-Ape 23:11, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

Articles major/master edited: Animism, Finis (short story), Hector Guimard, History of artificial intelligence, Internet slang (version of 2004-11-17 became wiktionary appendix), Starship Troopers FA. Active in the numerous articles of the Robert A. Heinlein FA opus. Category created: Category:Art educators. Template created: Template:WikiProject Go.

Images improved: Image:China-Hukka.png (created, but derivative), Image:Carbon Dioxide 400kyr.png (reversed for time flowing left to right, and then text restored), Image:Carbon_History_and_Flux.png (similarly). The latter two images have since been removed, reproduced, and reloaded.

I do anti-vandalism duty reverting, reporting, nominating for deletion and speedy deletion; working manually with the assistance of copy and paste. 1h, 3h, 8h, 1d, AIV, sb, SD, New 250, Spcl.

I don't focus on number of edits (over 10,000 non-automated edits 2004-11 through 2007-06), but I will say that I pack much more into one "edit" than most editors, by using the "Show preview" button. I do break edits into smaller packages where appropriate.
