Hello. Welcome to my user page. My user name is J Readings. As you can probably tell, this page is not exactly the most aesthetically pleasing example of editor ingenuity on Wikipedia. I hope to change that perception at some point.
Most of my editing interests are in Japan-related topics, though I have eclectic tastes. An academic by profession, I tend to edit articles outside of my area of expertise. Wikipedia is a pleasant hobby, after all. I sometimes edit general East Asian topics, film topics, and biographies.
The Umeboshi Sumo Trophy: For the excellent work of transforming the Nick Baker talk pages into a model representation of what Wikipedia can be when all the stars are aligned, including going to visit an actual library to verify data for us! --XinJeisan 10:00, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
The Editors Barnstar: In recognition of your excellent mainspace work, your wonderful saving of this article from deletion for one, I am very glad to present you with this Editor's Barnstar. Keep up the good work and happy editing! --PeaceNT (talk) 14:39, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
