My name is Milo Grika (born, 29 November, 1967)

I, FireFox, hereby award you The RickK Anti-Vandalism Barnstar for all your reverts and efforts in chasing after vandals!
The GO-PCHS-NJROTC Abuse Report and Antivandal Barnstar For reverting vandalism to Port Charlotte High School!

I started editing the wikipedia 18 January, 2005 with off-color humor though I am not credited as I didn't have an account at that time. Looking at my vanity list, you will see that I am drawn to articles concerning natural sciences and linguistics.

Number of times my user page has been vandalized: >10

Screenshots

If you need to illustrate an article about software or a website, a good tip is to take screenshots.

In Microsoft Windows, a screenshot of the entire monitor, complete with taskbar, can be copied to the system clipboard by pressing the Prt Sc key. Alternatively, pressing Alt+Prt Sc will copy just the active window to the clipboard. You can then paste the clipboard into a program like MS Paint or Paint.NET using Ctrl+V, and then save it as an image file (for uploading to Wikipedia, for instance).

In Mac OS X, simply prepare your screen to how you want it to look, then hit Cmd+⇧ Shift+3 (not the number pad 3) simultaneously. The new image will appear as a PNG on your desktop. Additionally, if you only want to capture part of the screen, you can hit Cmd+⇧ Shift+4, click and drag over the part of the screen you would like to capture and release, also saving it as a PNG on your desktop.

When uploading, be sure to use an appropriate copyright tag, such as web-screenshot.
