the Guild of Copy Editors.

Background: journalism

Style background: AP style.

Strengths: reporting, copyediting, neutral voice, attribution

Weaknesses:

1. Wiki markup. Please let me know if there's an easier way to do it than the code I cobbled together.

2. Wikipedia style. Too many styles. I prefer AP over academic styles.

3. Spelling! Born and bred on spellcheck. Where is the Wikipedia spellcheck??

Likes: Writing in complete sentences on discussion pages, and not making people go to WP:THIS or WP:THAT to get the gist.

Dislikes: arbitrary capitalization

Interests: International affairs, international media and journalism, other random and interesting topics.

Pages I've created

International media reaction to Barack Obama's 2008 election
