Nikkitacroix (talk)	15 June 2009	Hi, I am a professional copywriter, editor, and journalist complete with a University degree. I've been unofficially helping out Wikipedia for years. I specialized in Public Relations in college, so editing Wikipedia hasn't been a high priority in the past. However, I have recently started using a better time management system, and I now have more free time give back to the community here. It's time for me to join the Guild.

I'm currently blitzing some of the photography - in which I have a Degree - articles, referencing when I can, condensing text and pruning out the weeds randomly sown by folk who *think* they're adding useful things but often can't write for toffee.

Faerie Queene (talk)	27 March 2009	I find myself copyediting a lot because I don't have the necessary access to scientific journals for sourcing content in my specialist subjects, so I tend to leave content alone and copyedit instead.
