Hi, I'm Will. I spend a pretty large amount of time on Wikipedia, so I hope to give something back by editting and improving, as well as the odd contribution!

If you'd like to leave me a message, do so on my talk page which can be found here. Thanks!

[edit] Personal

I live in the United Kingdom. I'm 19 years old and currently studying at the University of Oxford, studying French and Linguistics.

My interests include film, music and drama. I'm also very interested in paranormal research, and I enjoy paranormal investigation.

[edit] Wikipedia Activity

Most of my Wikipedia activity is centred around edits; as a linguist I am very keen to ensure that Wikipedia is as well written as possible. I therefore edit to improve spelling, punctuation and grammar generally; although I do add information to articles, update and contribute sometimes.

[edit] Pet Peeves

One thing that really annoys me is articles which are written sloppily or with an obvious bias. These are the instances in which I will be most likely to edit. Normally my edits are pretty objective; I don't usually remove something because I personally disagree.

[edit] Contact me!

If you want to contact me for any reason (though I've no idea why you'd want to!), please do so by leaving me a message here. Whether it's to tell me I'm out of line because I've made an overenthusiastic edit, or just because I raise a point you want to discuss, or whatever, just drop me a line - I'd be happy to hear from you.
