User:Cisop Sixpence

I've updated many Wikipedia articles in the past and finally decided I should at least sign my name to them so they know who to blame. The information provided here is so that you can understand my background and how it may or may not relate to topics that I may edit or create. This user page is not a biography or for social media. If you want to know my views on religion, political leanings, sexual preferences or you just want to socialize, you're in the wrong place. There are plenty of social media outlets for that.
