Hello! My name is Liam, but you can call me Gibboboy! I got my username as when I used to live in the wonderful country of Gibraltar. I'm an editor on the wonderful site we know as Wikipedia! I joined on 12th March 2015 and I have been editing wikis about technology, TV stations and many types of machinery! I like listening to BBC Radio 4 (since we know it is for smart people!) and I have a hobby of collecting various retro consoles and computers! I am studying for a GCSE of Computer Science and journalism. I am very glad to be in this community, I hope to see you around! The beginningeditWay before I wanted to join Wikipedia, I was an anonymous user editing certain articles. I had a hobby for editing things at school on word processing programs, such as Microsoft Word or OpenOffice Suite. And when I was doing nothing but play video games, and I thought to myself; "Surely there is something else I could do than play Team Fortress 2 all day..." then I went around loking for a hobby, then I thought; "Of course! I like editing articles and work at school"! So I went on to the wonderful and community alive world of Wikipedia! I clicked on the 'Sign Up' button and I created my account known as my username! I first edited the article Steam Machine (as I said I was a fan of TF2) the upcoming games console from the gaming giant Valve. I uploaded a picture of the Alienware version on Wikicommons but unfortantly I forgot not to upload pictures without permission so it got took down in a matter of days. I then started to get the hand of editing many articles like my favourite interests, television broadcasters like the BBC, TV-am and many more. Then I created my own user page, the one that you are reading from right now. It was not as good in the beginning, but then i started getting the hand of editing and the code I was using. Then here i am today! Editing, reading, contributing and most importantly... enjoying Wikipedia! Pictures I contributededitGo here to see my contributed pictures!

Milestones and achievementsedit
Picture of the dayeditThe Astronomer is an oil painting on canvas by the Dutch Golden Age artist Johannes Vermeer, completed in 1668. The work depicts an astronomer studying a celestial globe beside a copy of Adriaan Metius's Institutiones Astronomicae Geographicae. Closely related to Vermeer's The Geographer, it is thought to portray the same sitter, possibly Antonie van Leeuwenhoek; a 2017 study showed that both paintings were made from canvas cut from the same bolt. The painting was seized by the Nazis from the Rothschild family during the Second World War, returned to them when the war concluded, and acquired by the French state in 1983. It is now in the collection of the Louvre in Paris.Painting credit: Johannes Vermeer
