Scray n. (Zool.) A tern; the sea swallow. [1][2]
Welcome!I have a short attention span on WP, so I tend to dabble. Many of my edits arise from discussions on the Science Reference Desk because the best answers cite our articles, and when our articles are wanting I enjoy finding answers and improving the relevant articles. I also revert a fair amount of vandalism on pages that I've edited. I welcome constructive interaction on my Talk page linked above; if you send me an email via the Email this user tool, please use my talk page to suggest I look for your email message, because I don't check that email account daily.

The Great WP Birth Date Doughnut Hole: I'm not alone in not showing a "birth date" on mouseover, and it's explained here in a VPT discussion (related Bugzilla report): essentially, my account was created prior to the creation of the user creation log, and when that log was created a script was run to populate retroactively the "birth" dates for accounts that had edited; however, my first edit did not occur until after that bot was run, so mine did not get populated. Since then, birth dates are recorded as part of the new user log.

Kudos to you and much respect for sticking up for and trying to guide ParkSehJik through the oftentimes depressing and vituperative landscape WP ... FiachraByrne (talk) 03:56, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
