Jump The Cheese!!!

edit
Today is

I first stumbled across Wikipedia sometime in 2004, but neglected to create an account until December 11, 2005. I became actively involved in Wikipedia at around January 2006.
I spend most of my free time on Wikipedia expanding articles, reverting various vandalism, adding pics, and other random stuffs. I hate disruptive users.

Behind the name

edit

I chose the username "Jumping cheese" because I'm a high jumper and I hate cheese. Seriously. The "cheese" is lowercased because I accidentally forgot to capitalize it when I created my account. I only noticed my mistake after I made like ten edits, so I didn't want to create a new account and lose those edits. As I later found out, "Jumping cheese" (also known as "Casu marzu") is actually a real type of Italian cheese with larvae that jump on your face when you try to eat the cheese, hence for the recommendation to wear eye protecting (cheese fly larvae squirming in your eyes can't be good).
Here are some nicknames other Wikipedians have given me:

  • JC
  • J Cheese
  • Cheese
  • Mr. Cheese
  • Cheesy
  • Jumping

If you are really really bored, you can take a look at how my signature has changed over time. Enjoy!

The Dewey Arch was a triumphal arch in Madison Square, New York City. It was erected for a parade on September 30, 1899, in honor of Admiral George Dewey, to celebrate his victory at the Battle of Manila Bay in the Philippines the previous year. Constructed around two months before the parade, the arch was made of the plaster-based material staff, typically used in temporary buildings. After the parade, the arch began to deteriorate and it was demolished in 1900 after an attempt to raise money to rebuild it in stone was unsuccessful. The arch's larger sculptures were sent to Charleston, South Carolina, for an exhibit, after which they were either destroyed or lost.Photograph credit: Detroit Publishing Company

Meredith (center) being escorted to class after the riot

The Ole Miss riot of 1962 was a violent disturbance at the University of Mississippi (commonly called Ole Miss) in Oxford, Mississippi, as segregationist rioters sought to prevent the enrollment of James Meredith, an African-American. In the wake of the Supreme Court's 1954 decision Brown v. Board of Education, Meredith applied to Ole Miss in 1961. His admission was delayed and obstructed, including by Mississippi governor Ross Barnett, who even had him temporarily jailed. Meredith's multiple attempts to enroll, accompanied by federal officials, were physically blocked. A riot erupted on campus when a mob assaulted reporters and federal officers, burned and looted property, and hijacked vehicles. Two civilians were murdered and 160 marshals were injured, including 28 who received gunshot wounds. U.S. President John F. Kennedy invoked the Insurrection Act of 1807 and mobilized more than 30,000 troops, quelling the riot. A statue of Meredith on campus commemorates the event. (Full article...)
