I chose the name Lumos3 to underline my intention to be someone who brings some light into confused Wikipedia articles. The 3 stand for the 3 worlds of reality according to my favourite philosopher Karl Popper, especially for world 3 which Wikipedia inhabits.

I found Wikipedia in September 2003 when helping my son with his homework on the French Revolution. Even then it was the best material available on the internet.

I have been regularly contributing ever since.

I've made contributions in some areas on which I have a bit of knowledge of the local history and geography of places I've lived.

Motspur Park, St Margarets, Streatham, Croydon, Crystal Palace, Apsley, Hemel Hempstead.

[edit] Quotations

The following seem especially appropriate to the Wikipedia project.

Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941)

Gitanjali 35 (Song Offerings) , published 1912

1 Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high;

2 Where knowledge is free;

3 Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls;

4 Where words come out from the depth of truth;

5 Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection;

6 Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit;

7 Where the mind is led forward by thee into ever-widening thought and action --

8 Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.
