User:Markus1423

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hello, and welcome to the user page of markus1423!

First of all, I know my quote is not actually from Patton. It's a joke, and a decent one in my opinion.

ATTENTION: I USE A PUBLIC CONNECTION THAT MAY BE SHARED WITH OTHER WIKI EDITORS
This editor is a

On Wikipedia, I find myself mostly editing articles having to do with history, especially that of the military. My greatest interests are in Canadian (my homeland) and British (my second home) related articles. I also have a strong interest in Japan, especially as it transitioned into the Meiji Period. I'm a moderate fan of the samurai and bushido, although I must say my opinion of Japan tanks sharply after the Second World War. As such, my favourite game is Total War Shogun 2: Fall of the Samurai, although I barely have time to game anymore. I also love playing sports, especially skiing, hockey, tennis, soccer, sailing, and wakeboarding.

You can probably figure out the rest of my interests through my various userboxes. I copied the template off a fellow Wikiuser at some point; unfortunately cannot give credit or thanks for setting it up, as it's been far too long to remember where it's from. If you see this, do let me know.

A lot of the work I have done is rote organizational stuff, especially mass assessment (thus mostly stub and start class articles) and other relatively unappealing but necessary work. I'm also starting to work on translations of content between English and French, which is my only foreign language [although I'm trying to learn how to understand Southern American].

I have made a couple pages so far and am working to improve them eventually to B status, and not stubs:

Also some French translations:

On an old account (that I gave to a friend and subsequently got banned, oops), I made these articles:

I get annoyed when I can't get a userbox for something extremely common, or when the existing ones are terrible, so my userboxes.
