Greetings!
Hello! I am relatively new to wikipedia, so please be patient! Feel free to politely let me know if I made a mistake and I will do my best to fix it. After some nasty business involving allegations of sockpuppetry I am back to editing. I assure you, I am not a sockpuppet!

My Wiki Principles
These are the principles I'll be trying to adhere to while editing on Wikipedia:
 * Opening discussion on talk pages for all major edits before making changes, on the basis of seeking to build consensus before making changes.
 * I am not interested in personal attacks. I'm happy for my edits to be reverted or challenged, but treat me with some basic manners as a fellow human please.
 * That being bold does not excuse failure to seek consensus or discuss changes.

About Me
I am educated, but not arrogant enough to believe that my voice holds greater merit than any other.
 * I have an undergraduate and masters degree from Oxford University.
 * I have a masters degree from University College London.
 * I am currently studying for my doctorate (PhD) at Sheffield University.

Useful Reminders For Everyone

 * The Five Pillars
 * Do not feed the trolls
 * Obtaining consensus
 * Ensuring verifiability
 * Neutral point of view
 * Conflicts of interest
