I have been using Wikipedia for a number of years, and first with some skepticism, but with a growing appreciation of its value as a first stop for information. Most importantly, I have found Wikipedia a very valuable for finding reference to further sources.

In the fall of 2009 a friend point out to me a very one sided article on a subject of importance to me ... so I dove in and became an editor.

I am now working to add and edit articles related to mining, particularly in the developing world, as I believe both that this is an interesting and relevant topic - and because there is a severe lack of balanced information on many of these mines. After starting this I discovered, and have joined, WikiProject Mining. I also have an interest in public transportation and contribute to articles related to public transportation in the Toronto region.
