Hey there! As you have probably deduced by now, I'm '''Laurinavicius''' and this is my homepage. I discovered Wikipedia a few years ago, but, at first, the thought of contributing as an editor and writer never crossed my mind. However, in the interest of furthering both my own personal knowledge and the collective sum of human knowledge found here on Wikipedia, I decided to do so more than four years ago and, since then, have been completely and totally hooked. Editing Wikipedia is a true passion of mine, something I wholly enjoy. Unfortunately, my real-life commitments had forced me to take a rather lengthy WikiBreak that I've only just concluded, which means, in short, that I'm back.

Consistency. Standardization. Process.
Time in its irresistible and ceaseless flow carries along on its flood all created things and drowns them in the depths of obscurity.... But the tale of history forms a very strong bulwark against the stream of time, and checks in some measure its irresistible flow, so that, of all things done in it, as many as history has taken over it secures and binds together, and does not allow them to slip away into the abyss of oblivion.
Hey there! As you have probably deduced by now, I'm Laurinavicius and this is my homepage. I discovered Wikipedia a few years ago, but, at first, the thought of contributing as an editor and writer never crossed my mind. However, in the interest of furthering both my own personal knowledge and the collective sum of human knowledge found here on Wikipedia, I decided to do so more than four years ago and, since then, have been completely and totally hooked. Editing Wikipedia is a true passion of mine, something I wholly enjoy. Unfortunately, my real-life commitments had forced me to take a rather lengthy WikiBreak that I've only just concluded, which means, in short, that I'm back.
My interests are very widespread, but my favorite is history, especially that which relates to the military and government. As a result, I edit articles of a wide variety in size, importance, and field: everything from the smallest Stubs and articles that off the beaten path, to the largest, most important, and controversial ones. When working on articles, I mainly copyedit and expand them.
I can be contacted multiple ways. If you want to talk to me about my edits, you can do so on my talk page. If there is anything that you would like to share or discuss with me in private, you can e-mail me at mlaurinavicius@optonline.net.

We strive to make Wikipedia as accurate and as good as possible. If you see something you know is wrong, be bold and fix it. If you see something that seems wrong, leave a note on the article talk page and remove questionable assertions if no supporting evidence is provided. You can also use a verification template to add a citation needed tag after the text in question.
There is a semi-automated peer review available. The easiest way to install the script is to enable it as a Gadget: go to your user Preferences and check off the MoreMenu, adds Page and User dropdown menus to the toolbar... entry under Appearance and hit save. Each article page will then have a Page and User pull down menu near the top; go to the article; hover on Page; hover on Tools; click on Peer reviewer.
