My favorite Wikipedia and external reference links
[edit]Greetings! I hereby disclose my indirect or direct affiliation with the following organizations:
[edit]- Marsh McLennan :one of our sons is employed here
- Salt Creek Capital :works closely with one member of my immediate family
- Sandvik :a startup company of one of our sons was acquired by Sandvik
- Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Montreal
- CAPP Canada
- Bouchard Creek Foundation :better known by its French legal name la Fondation Ruisseau Bouchard
Since it would be normal to assume I cannot contribute neutrally to these topic areas, I pledge to mention the relevant affiliation each time I make direct edits to these and other related articles.
I do almost all of my editing from our condo in Dorval or from our chalet in Sainte-Marguerite-du-Lac-Masson, Quebec. Our ISP is Bell Canada.
About me
[edit]There is something to the fact that there is a certain "immortality" to a user's contributions. I want to impress no one. So my edit count is important only as a simplistic metric of my efforts to add value to Wikipedia.
I learned how to build my User and Talk pages by re-using and adapting texts from these

How to contact me
[edit]It dawned on me that readers may not necessarily know a good way to contact an editor. So here is what you do: go to my User Talk page or, for convenience, here is a link and then just edit the talk page. I get alerted about the message to my email, so I will see it fairly promptly. You need to decide if you want to leave a callback address or not, but if you do leave your email address I will hide it from public view as soon as possible but note that Wikipedia never completely deletes everything so in principle it can still be obtained. Many email providers have the capability of creating a temporary pseudo-email, so you might want to try that.
Note that anybody can edit any Wikipedia page, you don't need an account. Just hit "edit" and type away. If you are doing it for the purpose of contacting me, the format makes no difference so just blunder forward any way you want, I'll still see it. Don't forget to save the page though.
I will treat all correspondence professionally and sensitively. I am not fishing for social contacts, or interested in drawn out debates, etc. All I am interested in is improving Wikipedia.
