Thank you very much for the kind welcome. I've been reading Wikipedia as an unregistered user for a couple of years. At first I was a bit of an 'Encyclopedia snob'; over time, I've come to appreciate Wikipedia as a useful and enjoyable resource. I've been lurking as a registered user for a little bit, and after trying my hand at some small edits, felt it was time to contribute a bit more.

I very much appreciate the references you provided. I'll read them as a first step in my education here. I'll also continue to look at existing pages for inspiration and example. Your user page is certainly impressive to me - I'll be sure to use it, and other such pages, as inspiration when I update mine in the future.

Kindest regards,
