ELCOME to my little corner of this vast space that is Wikipedia! I currently live in the city ofSurreyin the beautiful province ofBritish Columbia,Canada.I'm just a regular guy with a love of knowledge; don't really have much to say about myself. As for mycontributionshere, I make mostly minor "clean-up" edits to articles on pretty much any subject, butfringetopics interest me the most. Almost all of my edits are done manually (TwinkleandHotCatbeing thefewautomated tools I use for common maintenance tasks). I spend most of my time on Wikipedia just reading and navigating through the never-endingmazeof articles and links, but as I go I'm always trying to find a way to somehow improve whatever page I come across. I'm also anadministratorhere so I tend to do moremaintenance-typeworkrather than writing newcontent,though Ihavestarteda fewarticles.I also try to help outmeta-wise and you may find me generally doing a little bit of everything, frompatrolling new pagestofighting vandalism,toredirect-sortingand categorizing, believing each minor contribution will improve the whole. Although I'm usually verySloth-like,I'd probably still classify myself as aWikiGnome,albeit a slightly obsessive one;) I alsowelcome new editorsand am an activerandom page patrollertoo; with 6,855,073 articles you never know what you may come across, and it's always a treat when youdiscover that one treasure of an article.I take Wikipediaseriouslybut I also believe it's important to havefuntherefore I try to avoiddramaas much as possible, but I'm not unwilling to make adifficult blockif I must. I have much faith in Wikipedia and itspolicies,and an optimistic hope for its future.If you have any comments or suggestions for me or just want to say "Hey!" you are most welcome to leave me a message on mytalk page.
