The main reason I decided to register with Wikipedia was so I could correct minor errors in articles; however, I soon moved on from fixing mistakes to become more involved with discussions, policy, improving content, etc.
I help deal with sockpuppets and trolls, vandals, and other disruptive users. On a nicer note, I give help to users whenever I can, and if my Wikipedia skills don't cover what a user needs, I will always check the Wikipedia help pages or ask an someone who I know has the knowledge of something I'm not totally familiar with.
Another thing: this user page does get vandalized. Thank you to all the kind users who have reverted the vandalism.
This user is pro-choice for different types of English and is against the Americanization of Wikipedia.
On the whole if it's a British topic, I think that it's only right and proper that we use British English, but I would always respect U.S. topics by using U.S. English there. This is in-keeping with current guidelines. I hope that other contributors will also respect the guidelines and refrain from "fixing" the variant of English without having a valid reason for doing so.
