Hi, and welcome to my user page! I welcome feedback on my editing, so please feel free to say something or correct me on my talk page.

I have some training and practice as a technical writer. I believe in using plain language even when it is hard to do. I also edit over at the English wikipedia (User page, Talk page). But when I do, I try to keep my writing simple and clear over there as well.

Tools I use when working on pages

• How to write simple English pages
• Active Voice
• The Elements of Style by William Strunk
• First Things First: The Lost Art of Summarizing
• Plain Language Guidelines
• Auntof6's list of things for editors to know
• How to copy from another Wikipedia
• Useful pages list
• User warning templates

My subpages

• Hub for work on Mountain articles
• Things I intend to work on
• Sandbox
