User:Energy
Hello, welcome to my user page. I joined Wikipedia on May 3rd 2005, but I've been contributing to Wikipedia for at least two years anonymously. For those who it means anything to, my internal ID number is 256444.
About me
[edit]I live in Surbiton, London in the UK, and my interests include law, British constitution, international organisations, science, government, Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Who, as well as bizarre sudden crazes that pop up every now and then. I also do routine jobs, such as watching recent changes and dealing with syntax problems.
I have blocked my email facility, because it has in the past been subject to spam, if you really need to email me something, leave a note on my talkpage (I normally check at least every 4 days) saying you want to email me, then I'll email you, and then you can reply to me with whatever it was you wanted to send me.
Templates
[edit]Please see the following templates I have stored as subpages:
- User:Energy/Box - to use type {{User:Energy/Box|LIPSUM}} where LIPSUM stands for any string of text, and it will type
- User:Energy/Hoverbox - to use type {{User:Energy/Hoverbox|lorem|Ipsum}} where lorem and Ipsum stand for two different strings of text. The lorem string should be what you want to appear on the page, and the Ipsum string what you want to appear when a mouse is hovered over the lorem string. So, using my example above, it types
lorem to see the effect of it you need to hover the mouse over the word lorem.
- You can also change the colour of the text by typing {{subst:User:Energy/Hoverbox|lorem|Ipsum}} and then editing the HTML tags.</nowiki>
- I have also combined the two above templates to make User:Energy/Timebox. This is the template at the top of my page, all you have to do is type {{User:Energy/Timebox}} and it works! Hovering the mouse over it shows the time in short format - but UK style, so 10/03/2004 would be the 10th of March, not the 3rd of October!

The Alpine ibex (Capra ibex), also known as the steinbock, is a species of goat that lives in the Alps of Europe. Its closest living relative is the Iberian ibex. Alpine ibex have brownish-grey coats and sharp hooves adapted to steep, rough terrain. Found at elevations as high as 3,300 metres (10,800 feet), they are active throughout the year, primarily feeding on grass in open alpine meadows. Adult males, which are larger than females, segregate from them for most of the year, coming together only during the breeding season, when they fight for access to the females using their long horns. The Alpine ibex has been successfully reintroduced to parts of its historical range, but all individuals living today descend from a population bottleneck of fewer than 100 individuals from Gran Paradiso National Park in Italy. The species has few predators and is not threatened, but it has very low genetic diversity. These Alpine ibex, a male in winter and a female in summer, were photographed at Creux du Van in Switzerland.Photograph credit: Giles Laurent
