| | I've been visiting [[Conservapedia]] for over a year just reading over articles and talk pages and trying to gauge the site as a whole, and I think it has a great deal of potential (not to diminish everything that it's already accomplished! The Alexa search rankings alone prove that point well enough). Hopefully I can contribute in every way that I can. I am also a very devout copy editor, so it's not uncommon for me to randomly select pages and search for grammatical and linguistic errors. | | I've been visiting [[Conservapedia]] for over a year just reading over articles and talk pages and trying to gauge the site as a whole, and I think it has a great deal of potential (not to diminish everything that it's already accomplished!

| | + | ===About My Name=== |
| | + | While I don't think anyone here has asked me about it, I thought I'd clarify for anyone what my name means, since I used to always get questions about it (my last name, at least). Apparently a last name starting with "Z" is just too cool for some people! Plus I'm personally always curious about the history behind names, so I figured I'd share mine, since I quite like it. :) |
| | + | *Tyler - an English name, meaning something akin to "doorkeeper". Maybe not so glorious, but it was my grandfather's name and I'm proud to carry it. |
| | + | *Michael - a Hebrew name, meaning "who is of [[God]]," or "who is like [[God]]?" Coming from family that's been Christian as far back as our genealogy records go (about 350 years, so quite a ways) this obviously references the Arcangel Michael (or taxiarch for the Orthodox Christians among us). Once again, I'm happy to bear the name of the greatest Soldier of Christ. |
| | + | *Zoran - a Slavic name, roughly translated to "the opening of day" or colloquially, "daybreak." It's a pretty common Serbian first name, but somewhere in the distant past it became my lineage's surname. |
