History

Detail History

I have been using Wikipedia since 2004. Initially I browsed WP to get an overall idea on different topics of my interest. Gradually I became addicted and started working here as an unregistered user on random articles. Eventually I felt that I should get registered and on 14 February 2006 I created my first user-id Ex_notredamian but didn't continue very long and shifted to a more appropriate one, Niaz_bd on 3 July 2006. Finally on 18 October 2007, I shifted once again (but this time officially) to my current ID Niaz.
