Picture of the day

The almond (Prunus amygdalus) is a species of tree in the family Rosaceae, the roses. It prospers in a moderate Mediterranean climate with cool winter weather, and is native to Iran and surrounding countries, although it is rarely now found wild in its original setting. The fruit of the almond is a drupe, consisting of an outer hull and a hard shell with the seed; botanically, it is not considered a true nut. It is used extensively as a culinary nut, however, and is cultivated worldwide. Around 80% of the world's almond supply is produced in the US state of California. This photograph shows an almond drupe in shell, shell cracked open, unshelled and blanched seed.Photograph credit: Ivar Leidus

Overview

Exteray, a Wikipedian, was born in 1990.

Wikimania

A currently avid user of Wikipedia, Exteray first saw this amazing project several years ago. He was instantly drawn to it ^{[citation needed]}.

He spends as much time on Wikipedia now that it has led to parental objection. (His parents are very strict). But in his young mind Wikipedia is his life.

His Userboxes

Exteray has an uncanny fascination with userboxes. He allegedly spent the entire night creating semi-random userboxes for himself when he first knew about its existence. To date, there are over 356 of them.^{[citation needed]} Due to this overwhelming number of userboxes, they are displayed on a separate page here.

Articles

Created

• 653 (disambiguation): a rather insignificant contribution, as 653 is one of the supposedly infinte numbers included in Wikipedia, many of which lack a disambiguation page. The future of the page is uncertain, but it is likely to be deleted. In creating that page, Exteray primarily wanted to practice his editting skills in Disambiguation pages, ^{[citation needed]} although he could have used a sandbox instead.

Tip Of the Day

Tip of the moment... No copies of primary sources While using a public domain work as the basis for a Wikipedia article may be a good idea (see public domain resources for a selection), please do not include large source documents within articles. We try to collect free (public domain or copyleft) source documents in a single place, Wikisource, where they can be annotated and translated. This reduces duplication across wikis, and frees articles from the context of the source documents. Keep in mind that Wikipedia articles are subject to merciless editing, so if a document is the subject of an article, yet is included in it, it might not be the same document for long! Even long quotation sections should be moved‍—‌to Wikiquote.
