Bio

My name is Covington. I am from Northeastern US. I am English-, Chinese-, and Malaysian-American. My personal motto is non videri sed esse (not seeming but being) and my familial motto is non sufficit orbis (the world is not enough). I hold these words to the bottom of my heart.

I am a moderate Wikipedia user, and I am on Wikipedia almost every day. I love to participate in the inner workings of Wikipedia, such as Wikiprojects and Request for Adminship. I believe that civility and cooperation are the keys to a successful Wikipedia and I do my part to promote these two values. I am completely responsible for my own actions, so feel free send your concerns to me at my talk page.

If I'm not on Wikipedia, I'm either working, in class, on the so-called court (a.k.a. driveway with a hoop at the end) or playing Oblivion. I am currently writing a couple of screenplays and trying to start a business.

Among my best friends I am rumored to be of the likes of James Bond, or Aragorn, or even Martin Septim. Sadly, I am neither.

See you around. Covington (talk · contribs · count)

  A distinguished newcomer award? Some say so ...

Tip of the day... How to make links look the way you want A piped link is a link that is labeled differently from the name of the page it links to, using the vertical bar ( "|" ) character (AKA: the pipe). For example, to change the appearance of the link to the article "Orange (colour)", try this: [[Orange (colour)|{{color|orange|the color orange}}]] will show: the color orange Prior tip – Tips library – Next tip Read more: The piped link   Become a Wikipedia tipster To add this auto-updating template to your user page, use {{tip of the day}}
