User:Heliocentric

My name is Chris Chapman. I am 27 years old, work as an IT slave, and live in the vicinity of Nottingham, UK. I've used Wikipedia as a reference for years, relying on it increasingly (now I look up a dozen or more subjects every day) but only in the past few months have I started editing pages. Most of my edits are minor at the moment, but I intend to work my way up to the big stuff.

I believe that Wikipedia is the internet's biggest redeeming feature.

I made a couple of anonymous edits in early 2005, but these dates refer to my Heliocentric account, since they're the only records I have.
