Most of my Wikipedia time is spend making minor edits of voting on featured pictures, featured articles, or votes for deletion. Lately with school though I have not voted on these things as much as I would like to.
Don't hesitate to leave me a message. I've been a happy Wikipedian since mid 2003, and recently started doing my own edits and new pages. Check em out and if you have similar interests, say hi.

Picture du jour
| The Battle of Passchendaele, otherwise known as the Third Battle of Ypres, was one of the major battles of World War I, fought by British, ANZAC and Canadian soldiers against the German army near Ypres (Ieper in Flemish) in West Flanders, northwestern Belgium over the control of the village of Passchendaele. As the village is now known as Passendale, the term Passchendaele alone is now used to refer to this battle. The label "Passchendaele" should properly apply only to the battle's later actions in October–November 1917, but has come to be applied also to the entire campaign from July 31. After three months of fierce fighting, the Canadian Corps took Passchendaele on November 6 1917, ending the battle. Passendale today forms part of the community of Zonnebeke, Belgium.
