From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

What a privilege it is to be participating in the grand assembly of human knowledge that is Wikipedia. If someone had told me as a child that, within my lifetime, we would carry tiny computers around in our pockets capable of accessing practically everything the human race has ever learned or done or dreamed, I would have scoffed at the idea as an impossible science fiction fantasy. (Yes, I'm that old.) But I would have been ecstatic; and now I often am, when some obscure and wonderful tidbit pops out of the cloud for me.

IRL I actually am an editor and a writer, so I believe I bring useful skills and experience to Wikipedia editing. It's been a long, adventurous road from my master's degree in engineering to publishing a small arts and literature magazine, as I do now. Other credentials include articles that have appeared in popular magazines, research papers published in scientific journals, government reports, software documentation, grant proposals and all sorts of presentation and informational materials.

Delighted to be part of the team—I look forward to working with you.
