My name is Graham Hale, I live in Hertfordshire, UK. I studied mechanical engineering at university and have worked in software engineering all my life .

Now semi-retired, I was a Business Systems Analyst and professional Business Facilitator with a special interest in Agile methods. I now work paid and voluntary for the care of the elderly particularly those with dementia.

Personal statement

I chose the name Lumos3 to underline my intention to be someone who brings some light into confused Wikipedia articles. The number 3 stands for the 3 worlds of reality according to my favourite philosopher Karl Popper, especially for world 3 which Wikipedia inhabits.

I found Wikipedia in September 2003 when helping my son with his homework on the French Revolution. Even then it was the best material available on the internet.

I have been regularly contributing ever since. Which means I have been editing Wikipedia for {{For year month day|year=2003|month=09|day=25}}.

Please sign my Guestbook. Good editing!

I've made contributions in some areas on which I have a bit of knowledge of the local history and geography of places I've lived.

Motspur Park, St Margarets,

Also in the fields of:

science, Henri Poincare, Michael Faraday
engineering, Stirling engine, Reciprocating engine
counter culture, New Age, John Lilly
self exploration, Psychotherapy, Psychohistory
health, Vitamin C, Orthomolecular medicine
and computing, geography and history where I have lifelong interests.

I am slowly populating the 1000 women of achievement celebrated in the floor of the installation artwork The Dinner Party by feminist artist Judy Chicago.

A list of 450+ new pages I have created is [http://tools.wmflabs.org/xtools/pages/index.php?name=Lumos3&lang=en&wiki=wikipedia&namespace=0&redirects=none&getall=1 here].

==Inspirational Quotation==

The following seems especially appropriate to the Wikipedia project, although written in 1912.

style="border: 3px solid; background-color: #FFC0CB" class="toccolours" align="center"

Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941)

Gitanjali 35 (Song Offerings) , published 1912

1 Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high;

2 Where knowledge is free;

3 Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls;

4 Where words come out from the depth of truth;

5 Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection;

6 Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit;

7 Where the mind is led forward by thee into ever-widening thought and action --

8 Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.
