My first encounter with wikipedia was around 2007 when I was searching for Nanotechnology it is one of the things I am interested in, my contributions are modest, but I'm a big fan of Wikipedia & BTW I suffer from Wikipediholism.
I edit wikipedia articles on a wide variety of categories. I usually come across articles because they caught my interest or because I wanted to check or learn something, not because I have any special expertise. I also come across articles suggested to me by suggestbot if you are a wikipedian then you should use it as its suggestions are almost perfect.
I try to be careful with my contributions, and the slightest change takes me forever, but I still screw up sometimes, so apologies for any mistakes I make, and thank you for correcting them!.
I love the basic concept of Wikipedia and I also try to constantly encourage others to contribute.
Feel free to leave me a message on my Talk page. I don't bite usually!!!
I love playing video games and some of my favorite ones are Hitman, GTA, Counter Strike, Freedom Fighters. I have played them like thousands of times over and over again!!!.
There are also some classic games that I used to play a lot in my childhood they are IceLander, Tanks and Mario out of which Mario was my favorite, I guess it was everybody's favorite at that time :).
In January 2015 I got a new ASUS Zenfone Smartphone, and which I've used to take pictures and contribute to Wikipedia and to Wikimedia Commons.
This user thinks they might have too many userboxes. Oh well...

Nothing annoys this user more than when a teacher says that Wikipedia isn't reliable and that anybody can enter anything completely untrue that'll stay.

Do not put spaces between parameters. The other parameters are optional and can be placed in any order. Some infoboxes do not require the brackets. Keep parameters in lower case. The other parameters are:
Type
'thumb' / 'thumbnail' or 'frame'. This causes image to be displayed with specific formatting. "thumb" is normally preferred.
Location
'right', 'left', 'center' or 'none'. Determines placement of the image on the page. "Left" or "right" is the norm, but large panoramas or timelines can be displayed in the center.
Size
{width}px or {width}x{height}px (e.g. 50x40px, would limit width to 50 pixels and height to 40 pixels). Normally only one variable is used. Use common sense when determining the sizes; you can use the "Show preview" button if you need to. If thumb or thumbnail is chosen, size should normally be left out, so that the size defaults to the size set in a user's preferences.
alt=
(keep it lower case). This is the "alternate image" parameter used to describe the image for screenreaders or for people with low-vision. It should be more descriptive than the caption alone. Do not use this for another copy of the caption or of the article title, as the reader will already be aware of these.
Caption
Any element which cannot be identified as one of the above is automatically treated as caption text. It is traditional to put this last. The caption should identify what the image is, and ideally be a complete sentence that adds to the article by pointing out something a casual reader would not have noticed otherwise, or add information the pertains to the image. Full sentence or multi fragment captions require full stop punctuation.
If you have created a picture that is not already in Wikipedia's image collection on the Commons that you want to include in an article, you will need to upload it first. Bonus tip: Similar formatting is used to insert basic audio or basic video clips into articles.
