Hi to anyone who might read this.

I'm an Australian user of Wikipedia (since 2005) and have very occasionally added a few words here and there to articles. Most of what I have contributed in the past is in correcting the odd (or major) typo, or in some extreme cases, correcting hideous grammatical errors. A few instances have involved discovering that an editor has incorrectly dated an event, or made a common attribution error (such as attributing something to someone who is commonly believed to have been responsible, but in fact was not). Usually I will only correct these things after doubly-rechecking my own sources, as although I have an exceptionally good memory myself, I do not store dates and sources in my head in an encyclopedic fashion (excepting of course my own record of actual personal experiences).

I have extremely broad intellectual tastes, with particular interests in diverse topics such as:

and so on.

Broadly, I am interested in the study of the evolution of ideas (and the evolution of the idea of the evolution of ideas, and ... yep - probably worth leaving that one right there).

I'm a graduate of an Australian university, holding both a Bachelor of Science and a Bachelor of Arts.
