Alan is board-certified in security management by ASIS International and has over 25 years of experience in the field of security management and vocational education.

Alan is a neo-Wikipedian and plans to incorporate the Wiki NPOV, and other editorial standards, into his student's manadatory writng exercises (the dreaded term papers) and eventually be a worthy contributor to the Wiki-vision of free, boundless knowledge.

Alan has already experienced a cordial exchange with an experienced Wikipedian in a related topic area of interest (Wiki: Loss Prevention) and he looks forward to incorporating Wiki-knowledge into his online lectures and making original contributions to Wikipedia involving his areas of interest.

Notes to Self Below:

Whatever you like, within some reasonable boundaries.

A good start is to add a little information about yourself, possibly including contact information (email, instant messaging, etc), a photograph, your real name, your location, information about your areas of expertise and interest, likes and dislikes, other homepages, and so forth. Obviously, this will depend on how comfortable you are with respect to privacy.

You can also use your user page to help you use Wikipedia more effectively: so you can use it to list "to do" information, work in progress, reminders, useful links, and so forth. It's also good for experimenting with markup (a personal Wikipedia:Sandbox).

Another use is to let people know about your activities and opinions on Wikipedia. So you might include current plans, a journal of recent activities on Wikipedia, and your opinions on how certain Wikipedia articles or policies should be changed. If you won't be editing Wikipedia for a while, drop a note on your user page to that effect.

You might want to add quotes that you like, or a picture, or some of your favorite Wikipedia articles or images, or something like that. Also, someone may choose to award you a barnstar. In the unlikely event that your editing privileges on Wikipedia are revoked, a notice of this may be placed on your user page.

If you want to dual-license your contributions under an additional license or declare them all public domain, put a notice to this effect on your user page. Because of the large templates and long category names, some editors move the license templates to a subpage (see below).
