User pages are just as flexible as any other wiki page, and it's a page all about you, so generally people will leave you to freely write your user page in whatever format you like. It's a feature to help other people know who you are, and to bring the online community closer together. Think of it as a “profile” page. You might like to mention where you are from and what your job is. You can also state what your main areas of interest are in relation to the topic of the wiki, and describe contributions you have made or areas where you are interested in contributing.

== Maksim-Smelchak (Author) Biography ==
''Maksim-Smelchak'' is a long-time Traveller player, fan, and playtester. Maksim very much enjoys the Traveller universe and has a large collection of 6mm sci-fi game miniatures including a number of Traveller forces, which he uses to play a variety of sci-fi mini games including Dirtside II.
* While Maksim served in the US Air Force, an old friend gave him a cache of LBB's ([[Little Black Book]]s). Maksim spent many a C-130 and C-5 transport plane ride pouring through LBB's in-between missions. Maksim currently lives in Northern California in the United States, and is a frequent enjoyer of all kinds of gaming goodness: RPG's ([[Wikipedia:role-playing game|role-playing game]]s), board games, miniature games, etc. 
* In the past, Maksim has contributed to a variety of gaming products as an author, playtester, magazine article writer, proofreader, illustrator, product reviewer, small press publisher, and in a variety of other roles.
* He has previously contributed material to the Traveller RPG Wiki including creating new material, spellchecking, proofreading, Wiki code corrections, word-smithing, and other additions.
* Someone wrote: I am in awe of the scale and scope that you're able to tackle. For example, technology and epochs. Wading thru endless fan designs. Getting a large amount of Imperial sectors put together properly. Dealing with challenging personalities on a regular basis... There are more, of course. I can do lots of stuff - I'm competent at researching a subject and can string a reasonably believable sentence or two together, but like I said, its getting the really big fundamentals of it properly put together. Frankly, I don't see it getting done without someone starting it and finishing it with focus and determination. Exactly so. What I've always said about a leadership role, someone able to actually focus on a potential end point and steer the chaotic contributors towards it - whether they like it or not...
