Enjoying an Easter break until 12th of April. See you when I'm back!

I'm a network manager residing in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. I enjoy reading science fiction when I get the time but I am spending too much time currently looking after kids. I am quite interested in VERY LOCALISED history - including family history and the history of where I have lived and the groups I have been a member of.

I feel strongly about verifiability of all articles. If I leave a message on your talk page I haven't singled you out - I track down new articles including stubs and I support Wikipedia:Speedy deletion criterion for unsourced articles.

If an article topic has no reliable, third-party sources, Wikipedia should not have an article on it.

Please see my suggestion that All Westfields are the same, and my proposed new article, Westfields in Australia. While I still feel there are too many articles on individual shopping centres I understand that many people like things that way. So I'm no longer pushing to merge any but if anyone else comes up with that theory I'd be more than interested.

Sorry but currently I am a bit of a messy editor. This results in me making large edits followed by large numbers of quite small edits to tidy up typos, both text and markup related. I hope I am getting better at this...
