From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I live in Melbourne Australia. I'm no longer a very active editor, but I do potter around in non-controversial articles now and then. I'm especially interested in developing articles on sign languages. Most of the articles I've worked on are now off my watch list, so I can't vouch for their content any more. Here are a few examples: free love, third gender, fingerspelling, Macassan contact with Australia, Socialism and LGBT rights, Sergey Nechayev, Critical period. A more extensive list can be found below. Cheers! nt.
