Hello Wikipedians!

What a noval concept this is... though one wonders how uniformity and integrity can be maintained with so many cooks in the same kitchen! I look forward to participation by contributing information on subjects I know, and will not contribute unless I have sources to list. I see too many articles without sources and that is disturbing.

Though trained as a print journalist for the US Army, I have horrible spelling and beg forgiveness from all my future copy-editors! I believe strongly in citing sources, and will not add facts without a reference first, and will strive for a neutral point of view in all interpretations. I am familar with the AP style guide, and by nature will default to that while also learning the stylistic approach by Wikipedia.

I am a Gay Welsh American from Knoxville, Tennessee. Specifically Knox county near the Sevier County line. I learned of my Welsh ancestry only after a middle school research report on family names. Later I would adopt my step-father's Italian heritage as well.

As my father was in the navy we eventually settled in Virginia Beach, Virginia. Currently I live on Willoughby Spit in Norfolk's Ocean View neighborhood.

I love long walks on the beach and the mountains, and my ideal partner is... opps! Wrong forum for that! hehehe.

[edit] Interests

I have a great interest in many subjects. I become interested in a subject and voraciously read and learn all about it, as an obsessed man. Subjects of interest include Wales, Welsh , Celtic histories and languages, British, American, Native-American, African, and world histories, Hellenistic through the dark ages and medeival histories, monarchies and royal family histories, women studies and gay histories and studies. Also, Star Wars, Battlestar Galactica, Dune.

Additionally, I very much like urban development and planning, architecture and sciences. Examples of the urban lifestyle I love so much is the Dupont Circle and Georgetown areas of Washington, D.C., the Fan district in Richmond, Virginia, and the Ghent district in Norfolk, Virginia.

Musical interests incude Heavy Metal, Rock, Dance/techno/House/Trance, some classical. In the car I usually listen to rock and metal, though when out at the bars I like dance music. Favorite Diva: Madonna, favorite band: Depeche Mode

[edit] Other

Star Wars

Though I didn't have an account then, I completely rewrote the history of Naboo, from edits under 67.717.180.209, 205.143.204.110, 205.143.204.110, and the major rewrite of 205.143.204.198, and Corellia under 200.158.192.187.

[edit] Aliases

I did start an account under Wildorchid, and Drachenfire, but have long since lost those access codes and only used them rarely even then... and haven't yet found a way to gain them. Drachenfyre thus will suffice.

[edit] In closing

I plan to contribute many articles in the above sources listed, and welcome input and copy editing from all. Though as I will not add facts without first consulting sources, I would ask others to do the same before changing my text.

I have more to add... however will do so later.. just realized the time!

[edit] Quiting because of Aza85

I left wikipedia briefly because of cyber bullying by people such as Aza85. He and I know why.
