My Wikimedia account

Although I sometimes edit other wikipedias with my global account, I am mainly active at Commons, English Wikipedia, and Wikiquote. See my main userpage at English Wikipedia.

My username

Maedin Tureaud is my general internet alias, and I use this name on Wikimedia; also on Flickr, LiveJournal, YouTube, Second Life, and a few other such sites. You can pronounce it just like "maiden" or as French, "Maydeen". My real name is Julie.

Some basics

I'm based in the UK but not British by birth. I'm 24 and female. I work in civil engineering.

What else?

I've been looking things up on Wikipedia for several years, and I'm disappointed that I didn't think to click the edit button much sooner. I like to vary my activities here and am interested in gaining breadth of experience, so I'll probably dip into a lot of areas and projects until I find my niche. In any case, I'm here to do good and to always be constructive. See my stats.

I love literature and am an avid reader, sticking mostly to classics, "becoming" classics, and children's books, though I do read some modern literature. I have played the piano for what seems like my whole life, but unfortunately I'm not much of a musician, as I have trouble playing by ear. I'm pretty ace at reading musical notation though, and that is good enough for average results. I love to listen to music of many genres, from many decades, but I could never do justice to a list of my favourite artists, so I won't even try. I'm into computers (built mine), dramatics, needlework, cats, table tennis, languages, photography, hiking, cycling, board games, card games, and Command & Conquer. That is all I shall bore you with!
