A pleasure to make your acquaintance!

As you may have noticed, I go by Shuvin. As I have (painfully) come to understand during my time as a netizen this requires some disclosers:
 * I have used this name for well over a decade and I did come up with it, by myself, way back in the day when I needed a screen name for Age of Empires II. I did not find out that I was not the only one to do so until a few years later and I have no plans on tossing it overboard just yet.
 * The fact that there is an actual, identical, Indian (as in the Asian nation) first name is purely coincidental. I am not Indian but in fact Swedish.
 * For this interesting it is pronounced this way: Sh as sh in "shoe", u as a short hard vowel as in "ulcer" and vin as in "vintage". At least in English.

I consider myself an avid and rather skilled MW2 player and have also played the first CoD and MW1 extensively as well as some of the other titles. Not a fanboy but a fan, in other words. I lurked on CoD Wikia for some months before deciding to surface and start contributing.

As for special skills; I consider my strengths to be a firm grip on English grammar and vocabulary and I am interested in how to make CoD Wikia the place to go for everything from tips and mini-guides to trivia. The main of part of my contributions will probably therefore center around this: slight corrections in spelling and grammar as well as, from time to time, more extensive re-editing of other writers contributions if I find that they could be expressed more eloquently. Please do not consider this to be criticism, just see it as me trying to help you get your idea across more clearly. I assure you that I only mean well.

From time to time I might contribute more lengthy accounts of personal experiences, recommendations drawn from such or other tidbits of information I might have picked up somewhere and fought to be useful, interesting or simply downright amusing.

For those interested I live and work in Gothenburg, Sweden and study at med-school here. Long study-sessions might therefore keep me from logging on as much as I would want to. For even further info my Xbox-Live Gamertag is "Nivash" but please don't add me as a friend: I keep a strict IRL-only policy. Another alias i frequently use elsewhere is "Stroh" (or "Ströh", in Swedish) which is an actual IRL alias - the story behind it is rather long but yes: it is connected to the 80 % spirit called "Stroh". It can be used with or without M.D. in a number of configurations.

Know you probably now know twice as much about the things you would not like to know about and half as much about the things you would, but I am going to leave you there. This is largely a page-filler anyhow, isn't it, and few people are likely to ever read it, am I not correct?

Even so, I wish you good day.

Yours sincerely

Shuvin
