Picture of the day

Shiva is one of the principal deities of Hinduism. In the Shaivite tradition of Hinduism, Shiva is the supreme lord who creates, protects and transforms the universe. He is also significantly important to the Shakta and Smarta traditions, and is known as the Destroyer within the Trimurti, the Hindu trinity which also includes Brahma and Vishnu. This three-headed standing Shiva sculpture has a three-eyed yogi-king front-facing form, with his consort Parvati as the left head, and a three-eyed Bhairava as the right head. Shiva's sons Ganesha and Kumara stand at his feet, and a three-eyed Vrishabha, his mount, stands behind. The statue, which is 53 cm (20+7⁄8 in) in height, was made of grey schist in Kashmir, India, in the 8th century, and is now in the Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio.Sculpture credit: unknown; photographed by the Cleveland Museum of Art

Exteray, a Wikipedian, was born in 1990.

A currently avid user of Wikipedia, Exteray first saw this amazing project several years ago. He was instantly drawn to it ^{[citation needed]}.

He spends as much time on Wikipedia now that it has led to parental objection. (His parents are very strict). But in his young mind Wikipedia is his life.

Exteray has an uncanny fascination with userboxes. He allegedly spent the entire night creating semi-random userboxes for himself when he first knew about its existence. To date, there are over 356 of them.^{[citation needed]} Due to this overwhelming number of userboxes, they are displayed on a separate page here.

• 653 (disambiguation): a rather insignificant contribution, as 653 is one of the supposedly infinte numbers included in Wikipedia, many of which lack a disambiguation page. The future of the page is uncertain, but it is likely to be deleted. In creating that page, Exteray primarily wanted to practice his editting skills in Disambiguation pages, ^{[citation needed]} although he could have used a sandbox instead.

Tip of the moment... Where to upload images and media files Wikipedia encyclopedia articles may be improved by including images as well as sound and video clip media files. It is important to understand where to upload these files. Images and other media files must be uploaded either to Wikipedia or to Wikimedia Commons before they can be used. If you do not already have a Wikipedia account, you must create one to upload images. The account will work across all twelve Wikipedia sister projects such as the Commons. Wikipedia prefers free images that can be reused commercially and modified. Non-free images may be used, but only in certain circumstances and if a free equivalent is not possible. Wikimedia Commons only accepts free images, which can then be used by any of the other Wikimedia projects. There is a how-to guide available at Wikipedia:Creation and usage of media files and a picture tutorial that explains how to add images to an article.
