Good day.

Thank you for taking some of your valuable Wikitime to read my Wikipedia user page.

On Wikipedia, I pursue mostly Fixing the pages with DeadLinks which drive me crazy when i'm looking in the Wikipedia pages and information. Sometimes I do a bit more. I hope that what I have done is of value to someone.

Of many things I consider very seriously, one is objectivity, or neutrality in Widipedia nomenclature. I try very hard to be neutral. But, no editor can be fully neutral in all ways, no matter how great our efforts. At least two kinds of neutrality clearly exist: attitudinal and functional. We all have many biases, of many types, and these effect our thoughts and actions. Attitude issues are the easiest to counter, mostly by consciously monitoring ourselves and working to be deliberately neutral in our actions. Functional issues are much harder to counter. We all have varied strengths and weaknesses, areas of knowledge and ignorance. Thus we work in areas we know, and perform actions we understand, and tend to perform less well outside that range. Where this occurs, and harms or confuses anyone, I apologize. Tell me and I will act to improve my results.
