Greetings! My name is Sionk and I've been active on Wikipedia since 2007. I have two university degrees and a wide range of interests, so hopefully my contributions will be useful. I try to add useful information, while deleting the bad. I've written many articles myself and I've been an active reviewer at Articles for Creation. Of course, I welcome any constructive comments, criticism or advice (see my 'Talk' page).
