==John Smith's==

===Who am I?===

Hey everyone, I'm ''John Smith's''. No not ''John Smith'', John Smith'''s''' - as in the English beer. Well, ok I don't actually like John Smith's beer, but I always liked the "no-nonsense" label.

I was born in good old [[Blighty]] - aka Britain and have lived there ever since. However, I love to travel and have been to many countries around the world.

===Why am I here?===

I love the idea of wikipedia, and I find the general quality of many articles to be very high. But many also lack information, so I would like to help inform the global community on issues that I have good knowledge of. I also see myself as having a balanced opinion, so I would like to challenge revisionist or extreme POV concerning history - though sadly I don't have nearly enough time to deal with every article!
