Note: School is starting, and Yi will only spend very little time on this wiki due to school life.

Yi Zhe Wu was born in 1989 in southern China. He immigrated to the United States in July, 2003. He is currently a high school student residing in suburban area of New York, United States. His academic interests include English literature, history, and law. On Citizendium, he primarily contributes articles on history and literature, among others.

"I believe there are more instances of the abridgement of freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments by those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations." ---James Madison

Illustration of articles

I personally feel that a good article needs some illustrations, so I often upload public domain or creative commons pictures to illustrate articles. These articles were ones I uploaded and put pictures on:

Some of the U.S. Presidents, and Robert A. Taft, Stephen Douglas, Ben Tillman, Wilmot Proviso, Articles of Confederation, Otto von Bismarck, Horace Greeley, World War II, Homefront, U.S., Albert Gallatin, food photography, television, Katharine McPhee, Charles Sumner, Florida, Virginia, Joe McCarthy, David Levy Yulee
