Hello! I've been an editor on Wikipedia since August 2006. I tend to focus my work on a select bunch of my watchlist, which mainly involve articles connected with Indian Cinema. I have been heavily involved in the improvements to Shilpa Shetty (around 90% of it is my work) and I am aiming to get it nominated to Good Article or Feature Article status. I also contribute to several Wikipedia Policies and I am happy to improve article references wherever possible.

I studied for a BSc. Computer Networking and have gained a BSc. Psychology. I eventually aim to contribute information to psychology and science-oriented articles of which I've already made some headway by joining WikiProject Psychology. See my Userboxes to find out more about me.

I've made over 2400 edits (as of 12th March 2007) to many articles. Clearly I suffer from editcountitis!
