Hello, welcome to my page! I love Wikipedia and am a huge believer in its mission to provide free information to everyone. It requires humility and working with people you don't always agree with to make an article as NPOV as possible. Learning these conflict resolution techniques, assuming good faith, working towards a goal has made me better as a human, and I try to take these techniques with me in my daily life.

Working on articles is like being in a rock tumbler. You will read my edit history and there are moments and comments I'm not proud of. I have made comments in anger. I have bitten the newcomer. I am sorry. Wikipedia has helped smooth rough edges which I'm grateful for. I look forward to chipping off more rough edges!

Wikipedia Commitments

  • I am committed to assuming good faith.
  • I am committed to being approachable, particularly to new editors. I want to help if you are confused by something!
  • I am committed to seeking solutions that both sides agree are fair.
  • I am committed to accurately representing reliable secondary sources, even when I disagree with them.

Please don't hesitate to call me out on my talk page if you feel I'm falling short of these commitments.

I'm a big believer in resolving disputes amicably. If you feel I'm not refuting the central point, please call me out! I want to be better.

Favorite Article

My favorite article to write was Fukui cave. It was fascinating to learn about, and gratifying to plug a huge gap in human knowledge on Wikipedia.
