Why hello there! As you can see, I am Vox Rationis (Latin for Voice of Reason, formerly Vox Causa). I live in Ormond Beach, Florida, and I am currently attending Mainland High School. I have an avid love for physics, but also enjoy computer gaming, swimming (I am a member of my high school swim team) and Wikipedia. If you want to tell me something, leave me a note on my talk page, but nothing malicious, because I will probably delete it as vandalism. My current projects are listed below.
Horatius Cocles was an officer in the army of the early Roman Republic who famously defended the Pons Sublicius from the invading army of Etruscan king Lars Porsena of Clusium in the late 6th century BC, during the war between Rome and Clusium. By defending the narrow end of the bridge, he and his companions were able to hold off the attacking army long enough to allow other Romans to destroy the bridge behind him, blocking the Etruscans' advance and saving the city. This fanciful engraving of Cocles was produced in 1586 by the German-born Dutch printmaker Hendrick Goltzius. The full-length portrait shows him holding a raised sword in his right hand and a shield in his left. In the lower right of the background, Cocles takes on an army by himself.Engraving credit: Hendrick Goltzius
As you may see, I am a member of several groups throughout Wikipedia. Most notably, I belong to Stub Sorting and the Counter Vandalism Unit. The CVU is the more important of the two, as it is responsible for keeping Wikipedia {relatively} free of blatant vandalism. Stub Sorting is also a necessary group, as many of the group aren't doing the job, and we now have a backlog of over 3000 stubs to be sorted...Please join if you have the patience, we need help!

Ten things you may not know about Wikipedia is a list of insights about Wikipedia specifically targeted at people who have limited or no prior experience with the project (such as journalists, new editors, and new readers).
These explanations should not surprise experienced editors but will hopefully help the rest of the world to shape an informed opinion of our work.
