I am a fellow Wikipedian from the suburbs of South Jersey. I live in Burlington County, about 25 minutes from downtown Philadelphia. I contribute because I view this project as a public repository for free, fact-based, and impartial information. With the rationale that "knowledge is power", I interpret Wikipedia as an instrument for empowering society because truth should always be a public good.
I like to read
Christian Science Monitor
on a daily basis.
In addition to Wikipedia, I have been active on Commons and Wikisource.
