I'm a Ph.D student and Teaching Assistant in Computer Science from Birmingham, UK. I have a thirst for correct grammar, punctuation and spelling... as such, I rather enjoy trawling Wikipedia (during extended periods of procrastination) and finding errors, as opposed to writing new articles (I'm slightly lazy)! I watch a few of the most vandalised articles (and, naturally, I'm an RC Patroller when I get time), and am usually quite quick to clean them up.

My main interests are in Computer Science- and theoretical Computer Science-related articles, Wikipedia policy articles, politics and frequently vandalised pages. Please feel free to leave a (constructive..) message on my talk page :)
