User:Coemgenus

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I am Coemgenus, a lawyer and writer. I was raised in Northeast Philadelphia and now reside in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania. I registered as a Wikipedian 1193 days ago. My primary focus in writing and editing on Wikipedia has been Early Modern European History (especially figures from the English Restoration and the Revolution of 1688), Church history, and Philadelphia-area topics. Lately, I've been doing some work on the William III of England article.

I'm not really as full of myself as this user page makes me sound.

Latest pet peeve

Every instance of the phrase "it should be noted that". Useless verbiage -- if it should be noted, just note it!

The itis

My 10,000th edit: adding a cite. Not flashy, but necessary.


A note on userboxes

A lot of people put all sorts of userboxes on their userpages that deal with their religion, politics, and what-not. I've decided not to do that here, because I think politics are often too complicated to fit into a little box, and I get annoyed at the people who have boxes advocating contrary positions, or those who advocate for the independence of every group or nation on Earth. That being said, I'll contradict myself by linking here to a few that I made on that subject. I haven't even been to any of these countries, so I feel like it would be improper to advocate an ill-considered position about them on my main userpage. Still, I like the color they add to a userpage, so I'll transclude one of them, so I made a few.

Wanderings

I've travelled around a bit, mostly in the United States. You can read about some of the travel within America on my travel-blog, Both Hands on the Wheel, or see a detailed map at this site.

Here are the places I've been:
