About me
[edit]Hi every one. I am a military historian, i specialise and have a passion for the British Indian Army. I also specialise in its successor the New Indian Army. I like to look over articles and see if any improvements need to be made. I write on bare uninformative articles in this field. I also like the British empire.
I have been editing and writing articles for seven years and i like to add my expertise where ever needed. I place a strong emphasis on referencing for Wikipedia articles. I rigorously critique reference sources given to me, before passing them for use in Wikipedia articles. References are the key to good quality Wikipedia articles. I have high standards for referencing and i expect this from all other users. critiquing numerous references over numerous topics can be tiresome work and thus i have gained extra knowledge. This goes to show that editors learn something new every day!
I was an anonymous user for numerous years before i decided to become a registered editor.
Thanks.
