Revision as of 20:54, 19 February 2012 by Dendodge (talk | contribs) (I missed one)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)My name is George Watson, or dendodge if you prefer, and I'm a student from the United Kingdom. If all goes well, I hope to study theoretical physics at university, starting in 2012.
I used to edit Misplaced Pages quite heavily—I racked up more than 12,000 edits between 2007 and 2011. Eventually, the drama drove me away, and I moved to Wikinews, where I became an editor, administrator, OTRS volunteer, and arbitrator. That subsequently became even worse for drama, and I left Wikimedia altogether to focus on OpenGlobe, a citizen journalism wiki on which I'm an administrator.
I missed Misplaced Pages, so I've decided to resurrect my account here, but I'm going to keep away from all the drama. I want to write articles, and little more. That means I won't allow myself to get dragged into disputes (unless another editor raises an issue with my actions specifically), and I won't attempt to "collect hats"—I'm happy to be a normal editor for the foreseeable future.
I probably won't be as active as I used to be just yet, but I'll be around.
