Introduction
I am a Hungarian student, who lives in Budapest, the capital city of Hungary. My speciality is the English language and I also have some Italian skills (primarily written). I am a University student learning American Studies and Italian. I had been a lurker of this encyclopedia before I registered and started contributing.

I am a linguist-wannabe, so I am likely to insert some explanation why things are not spelt in a way or another correctly, the spelling part in the Lightsaber article is mine and I also had a part discussing a similar topic for the Dreadnaught too, but was cut by one of the kindest members on these boards who did not really appreciate my contribution.

I used to use British English before I suddenly had a second thought and started using American English. My current activity around consists of spell and punctuation checking, often changing British English to American English. Brittons would call me traitor.

I am starting to see that many users are using many templates to indicate their knowledge and interests about particular fields, I omit it but include a list of misc info about myself which are not worth an entire paragraph:


 * I do not believe in Zodiac signs
 * I am an atheist, one who only believes in proven facts. I support the Evolution theory over Intelligent Design
 * I have near-zero knowledge of Star Trek
 * I support the Brazilian National Soccer team, Manchester United, and Arsenal
 * I tried writing many Fan Fictions, not only Star Wars, but I failed most of the times
 * I constantly receive criticism of my long sentences and poor word choice
 * Nobody has a chance to dissuade me of any of my opinions, however, I am often disagreed with
 * I am observant to typos and spelling mistakes except at articles I wrote
 * I prefer agility to strength (my favorite fighter for example is the A-wing)
 * I sometimes play StarCraft online. This is the only game I play online since PXO went down. PXO was the center of FreeSpace online gaming
 * I am a passive observer, I do not often engage in real-life arguments only when I think my opinion is actually a contribution. Online, I am much different (I would rather engage in a fight with one I do not know)
 * I prefer the formal usage of English, no contractions or informal words, only when I am annoyed
 * I use the 1280x1024 screen resolution most of the times, in case this info will be needed for a complete redesign.

General Wookieepedia comments

 * I support permanent banning of vandals.
 * It seems I became a spell/punctuation checker rather than a writer.
 * No offense, but people here do not seem to know this "hidden part" of English punctuation:
 * If you have a (proper) noun, that is singular and ends in "-s", you must write its possessive form by putting ('s) instead of a single ('). So you must have "Rancisis's", "Grievous's," and "Sidious's."


 * 24th June, 2006: over 250 edits a day, all of which changes British spelling to American spelling. Hell, I once supported British spelling. Things change.
 * If I put a colon into a phrase, do I "colonize" that phrase?

Jarek Jaker was a Jedi Knight who worked as a carpenter after retreating from Jedi affairs. No detail is known about him since both Jedi Knights and carpenters preferred secrecy. When the two are combined, we end up knowing nothing.
