I, Me, Myself

I created a username on Wikipedia on 24th April 2009, so that I don't make changes in articles with anonymous ISP addresses, so that I can have greater access rights and learn more... I've browsed wikipedia for years, since 2003, and I used to edit articles anonymously without a username... I wonder why I didnt create one earlier, it has been a great experience so far! :-) And a loooong way to go in the learning, I am sooo illiterate at wikiing! :-)

My wikipediholism test says, "You are heavily addicted to Wikipedia and are showing symptoms of Wikipediholism." :-D

USS Johnston was a Fletcher-class destroyer built for the United States Navy during World War II. She was named after Lieutenant John V. Johnston, a navy officer during the American Civil War. The ship was laid down in May 1942 and was launched in March 1943, entering active duty later that year as part of the US Pacific Fleet. Johnston provided naval gunfire support for American ground forces during the Gilbert and Marshall Islands campaign in 1944 and again, after three months of patrol and escort duty in the Solomon Islands, during the recapture of Guam in July. Thereafter, Johnston was tasked with escorting escort carriers during the Mariana and Palau Islands campaign and the liberation of the Philippines. On 25 October 1944, Johnston and various other ships were engaged by a large Imperial Japanese Navy flotilla, in what became known as the Battle off Samar. After engaging several Japanese capital ships and a destroyer squadron, Johnston was sunk with 187 dead. Johnston's wreck was discovered in 2019, and at a depth of more than 20,000 feet (6,100 m) below the surface, is one of the deepest shipwrecks ever surveyed. This photograph shows Johnston in Seattle in October 1943.Photograph credit: uidentified US Navy photographer; restored by Adam Cuerden and Cobatfor

How to see a list of the pages in a namespace

To see a list of all of the pages in a namespace (the main namespace has 6,900,839 articles, plus millions of disambiguation pages and redirects), click on Special pages in the toolbox menu on the left side-bar of your screen. At the top of the list that appears is the entry All pages. Click on that, and a pull down menu (to select a namespace) and a search box for entering a starting pagename appears. The namespace listing will start at whatever spelling you place in the searchbox.

To get a list of only pages starting with a particular string of characters, click on All pages with prefix instead.

To access these pages by link, use [[Special:AllPages]] and [[Special:PrefixIndex]].
