<big>'''Personal statement'''</big><br>

I chose the name '''Lumos3''' to underline my intention to be someone who brings some light into confused Wikipedia articles. The number 3 stands for the [[Popperian_cosmology|3 worlds of reality]] according to my favourite philosopher [[Karl Popper]], especially for world 3 which Wikipedia inhabits.

I found Wikipedia in September [[2003]] when helping my son with his homework on the French Revolution. Even then it was the best material available on the internet.

I have been regularly contributing ever since. Which means I have been editing [[Wikipedia]] for {{For year month day|year=2003|month=09|day=25}}.

Please sign my ''[[/Guestbook|Guestbook]]''. Good editing!
 
I've made contributions in some areas on which I have a bit of knowledge of the local history and geography of places I've lived.

[[Motspur Park]], [[St Margarets, London|St Margarets]],
[[Streatham]],  
[[Croydon]], 
[[Crystal Palace, London|Crystal Palace]], 
[[Apsley, Hertfordshire|Apsley]], 
[[Hemel Hempstead]]. 

Also in the fields of:
*'''science''', [[Henri Poincare]], [[Michael Faraday]]
*'''engineering''', [[Stirling engine]], [[Reciprocating engine]]
*'''counter culture''', [[New Age]], [[John C. Lilly|John Lilly]]
*'''self exploration''', [[Psychotherapy]], [[Psychohistory]]
*'''health''', [[Vitamin C]], [[Orthomolecular medicine]]
*and '''computing''', '''geography''' and '''history''' where I have lifelong interests.

I am slowly populating the 1000 women of achievement celebrated in the [[List_of_women_in_the_Heritage_Floor|floor]] of the installation artwork [[The Dinner Party]] by feminist artist [[Judy Chicago]].

A list of 450+ new  pages I have created is [http://tools.wmflabs.org/xtools/pages/index.php?name=Lumos3&lang=en&wiki=wikipedia&namespace=0&redirects=none&getall=1 here].

==Inspirational Quotation== 
The following seems especially appropriate to the Wikipedia project, although written in 1912.<br><br> <br>

{| style="border: 3px solid; background-color: #FFC0CB" class="toccolours" align="center"
|align=left|
[[Rabindranath Tagore]] (1861-1941)

'''Gitanjali 35'''   (Song Offerings) , published 1912

1 Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high;
 
2 Where knowledge is free; 

3 Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls; 

4 Where words come out from the depth of truth; 

5 Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection; 

6 Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit; 

7 Where the mind is led forward by thee into ever-widening thought and action -- 

8 Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.
