Intro

Hi! I am Abelmoschus Esculentus (of course not my real name, I chose this because I like it) from Hong Kong. You will often see me reverting vandalism, reviewing pending changes, reviewing AfC submissions and creating redirects. I also design userboxes (see here). I try to AGF all the time, but I found myself couldn't. My alternate account is User:Abelmoschus Esculentus (alt), it is used mainly in public computers. Feel free to hang around here. Cheers.

My personal wiki habits

1. USING ALL CAPS EVERYWHERE. ALTHOUGH I LOOK LIKE SHOUTING, I AM NOT. (just kidding, I do that sometimes but not too often)
2. Placing a talkback template on IP's talk page if (s)he left a message in your talk page and you replied. Pinging when (s)he is a registered user.
3. Read first, edit second.
4. Delaying reverts a bit when trolls or POV-pushers still edits after several warnings or a long time. Time delaying is the best way to deal with them since they are easily bored. This does not apply to vandalism since they must be reverted immediately.
5. Showing no mercy to vandals, vandals blaming their little brothers, trolls, LTAs, sock puppets and rude IPs.

Tip of the day...

Lead Section Size

The lead section of a Wikipedia article is the section before the first heading. The table of contents, if displayed, generally appears between the lead section and the first subheading.

Rule of thumb: If a topic deserves a heading or subheading, then it deserves short mention in the lead.

The lead section should contain up to four paragraphs, depending on the length of the article, and should provide a preview of the main points the article will make, summarizing the primary reasons the subject matter is interesting or notable. The lead should be capable of standing alone as a concise overview of the article, should be written in a clear and accessible style, should be carefully sourced like the rest of the text, and should encourage the reader to want to read more. The following table has some general guidelines for the length of the lead section:

< 15,000 characters	medium size	> 30,000 characters
one or two paragraphs	two or three paragraphs	three or four paragraphs
