User:Carey Evans

I am Carey Evans, of Christchurch, New Zealand; a New Zealand Wikipedian. I have a typically irregularly maintained home page at http://home.clear.net.nz/pages/c.evans/ (http://home.clear.net.nz/pages/c.evans/), and email sent to careye@spamcop.net (mailto:careye%40spamcop%2E%6E%65%74) will reach me eventually.

I discovered Wikipedia on 26 September 2001, when it was running at www.wikipedia.com on the UseModWiki software, and there were only about 12 500 articles. I tend to contribute in short bursts, mostly cleaning up pages on topics that interest me.

The pronunciation of my given name is /'kεəri:/ in IPA, /kE@ri:/ in SAMPA; that is, to rhyme with Mary.

Contributions

So far, I've made contributions beyond just copyediting to at least the following pages, most recent first:

• Insertion sort
