Yes this is a wi ki pedia user page (an attempt to get round auto replacement).

Warning: I have not put this page through a spelling checker read at your own risk.

Because there is good editing and there is bad editing and good editing must be encouraged. Even in the face of Armageddon I will not compromise in this.

It is rumored that this user can pass the turing test

The standard you can leave comments on my talk page follows:

You can leave comments on my talk page or indeed anyone's talk page however if you want me to respond it is probably better to use my talk page. Please don't spam it if you do I will react apathetically.

Been around since 2004 and edited pretty much everywhere over the years. Mostly dealing with local history and museums these days but will sometimes get involved with current events or anything else that catches my eye.

Geni's advice on how to win an edit war

Discuss every edit on a talk page. Do not react emotionally. Assume good faith (even when you are pretty sure that the other person is not acting that way). Never revert first. Don't make or respond to personal attacks. If the other person is trying to make things heated, try mediation. Following this lot can result in two outcomes: a. It ends up in Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee and your case is unassailable. b.your opponent adopts these tactics and you end up collaborating on the article.
