User:Valfarly

Valfarly chanced upon wikipedia and thought "that'll never work"... but after using it a few times, he eventually got sufficently annoyed by a typo to do something about it and on 15th March 2004 hit edit. From there it was a slippery slope to writing articles for things he found no-one else had written about and adding tidbits, factoids and other nuggets of information to previously covered topics. Finds himself correcting spelling and grammar far too often!

Born in 1975, he grew up in Dublin, Ireland.

He is now a resident of San Mateo, California, just outside of San Francisco in the United States of America. He having moved there in September 2015. He has previously lived in Falls Church, Virginia, Dallas, Texas, and Sherman Oaks, Los Angeles, California.

He was married in Dallas, Texas in January 2006. | |-

Tip of the day...

Wikipedia Search box - basic

Vector skin, simplified search box. Note that an empty Search displays "Search".

Monobook skin, search box format.

Wikipedia has its own search engine, with its search box on every page. The search box will go to a given page name, but there are three ways to go to the search results page instead.

1. If you activate the magnifying-glass icon (or the Search button) from an empty search box, you'll go to an empty search results page.
2. If you start any query with the tilde character, it always generates search results, ~page name.
3. Choose "Search for pages containing" from the page names that drop-down as you type (if you have JavaScript enabled). To access the suggestions that drop down as you type, click the mouse on them, or use ↓, or Tab ↹, to access them.

At an empty Search display, there are filtering options for:

• Content pages – Search in (Article)
• Multimedia – Search for files
• Everything – Search of all content (including talk pages)
• Advanced – Search in custom namespaces
