Hello all!

I am interested in modern warfare, especially Russia 1942-43, World War I & II also, with many years of knowledge in such fields. I also try to encourage people to distinguish between using Wikipedia as a tool for research and a sole independant source on a project, as I observed friends at my time at university and I was often shocked at the lack of cross-referencing and care taken with research. But I do think wikipedia is a fantastic resource, if used appropriately, and I became an administrator to encourage this.

Tip of the day...

Wikipedia-specific searching with Firefox

In Firefox, the search box has a little pull down menu to allow you to choose which search engine it uses. Several popular search engines come included, but not Wikipedia. However, Firefox provides a page on their website listing more search engines you can add to that menu, including Wikipedia's search. To add Wikipedia, simply go here and click on Wikipedia in the list provided, and you are done. To activate it, pull-down the menu at the search box and click on Wikipedia there. Now you have a second Wikipedia search box. Unlike the search box in Wikipedia's sidebar, which disappears off the screen when you scroll down to read a long page, the Firefox search box always remains on the screen, ready to assist. (Keep in mind, typing Alt+F also places the cursor in the Wikipedia search box.)
