My name is Covington. I am from Northeastern US. I am English-, Chinese-, and Malaysian-American. My personal motto isnon videri sed esse (not seeming but being) and my familial motto isnon 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 playingOblivion. 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.
I feel forgotten. I took time off to heal my wrists, and when I come back, I feel like I am forgotten. I posted a message that I would be back, but still, I feel as people thought I disappeared off this planet. Very few people left notes on my talk page. Thank you all who thought about me during my break; I really appreciated it. (^'-')^Covington 01:46, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
The dove is the symbol of the Covington family. It has inspired me to strive for civility. I take complete responsibility for my actions. Please contact me if you have any concerns.
For going out of his way to help another user and showing exceptional WikiCitizenship, I award Covington this Random Acts of Kindness barnstar. _-MoP-_ 04:51, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
I have awarded barnstars to these deserving Wikipedians. Congrats to Dijxtra (AID and AIDbot), Dozenist (dental-related articles), and Go for it! (Tip of the Day and Main Page layout).
A distinguished newcomer award? Some say so ...

Editing articles for web accessibility
Web accessibility is the goal of making web pages easier to navigate and read. While this is primarily intended to assist those with disabilities, it can be helpful to all readers.
While editing articles, keep in mind the goal of making Wikipedia web accessible. All users, regardless of ability, should be able to read, navigate, and contribute to Wikipedia easily.
The Accessibility section of Wikipedia's Manual of Style (MOS) is a valuable resource that provides helpful guidelines. In addition, Accessibility dos and do nots is a quick summary of the most important guidelines for editors.
WikiProject Accessibility is a group of editors promoting better access for disabled and other users. For more information, such as what you can do to help, see the main project page.
