Hi. I'm Joel. I'll just describe myself solely as an editor over here, to show that my intentions are clear and I don't want to appear too 'mysterious' to everybody; at the same time, I agree when many discourage wasting time to decorate and make a fancy userpage (only some simple collapsible tables and boxes here), also a little against adding personal details, views and beliefs since that makes a user likely to be judged or stereotyped and may even discourage fellow editors from contacting them. I hope I stay here for as long as possible.

I work on mainly India-related articles with the exception of the film and sports area. Besides the lack of time I can devote here, in general, I find it hard to focus on one article as always some other one with more problems pops up. I aspire to someday do serious research and work on an important topic probably within this national scope, which are often in bad condition.

I would like to thank Quadell for GA recruitment (my archive) and MrX for all his help and advice, ever since I started off here&mdash;through Adopt-a-user. Current status (.) - on a WikiBreak, but online occasionally 17:43, 5 August 2017 (UTC) Subpages: Dashboard, Gifts, sandbox.

Wikipedia has always influenced and fascinated me, it developed my strong interest to know more; it also showed me how everything can be looked at objectively. I remember getting into the habit of wikiing any controversial topic just to get the whole picture. Information is a powerful weapon; what makes the internet so brilliant is the free sharing of it. Wikipedia has taken the initiative to push it further, by being the largest collection of free information. Of course it doesn't stop here and that's exactly what makes it invaluable. When I had just joined here, I'll admit that I wanted to do something related to righting the great wrongs; soon I realised that there was so much more than that and it got me interested in helping out. I decided to repay the favour by joining in building and maintaining the Encyclopaedia. I do lack expertise in any special field but offer my humble service. —originally written on 11:50, 14 June 2013.

I made up my silly username from a particular hopelessly addictive stupid video game. I don't mind being referred to as "UN" or "Ugog" or anything, heck, you can call me Susan if it makes you happy.
