Hi person who was interested enough in me to come to this screen...
I've only been looking at the Wikipedia site for a few daysweeks, but it seems like an utterly fascinating world that I could lose myself in quite easily! You can find information on virtually anything on the net if you look hard enough, and combining it into a coherant non-plagiaristic whole is a skill that's coming back to me fast. I haven't done any serious research into anything since I left University about a decade ago, so this is my chance to unrust my brain... anyone got an oilcan?

I'd like to write articles for the mental health, Australian and Cookery portions of the Wikipedia, and I steer clear of science/mathematics - my eyes glaze over when I even see those headers ;P

I'll apologise in advance for my typoes - the fingers move quicker than the brain and I don't always notice, especially since I'm dyslexic. There are some words esp. with double letters, that I can NEVER remember how to spell correctly. I hope I'm not leaving too long a trail of misspelt headers behind me...
