My name's Gareth Jones and I work at Sussex Downs College as Train to Gain Coordinator. Not a lot to say here beyond that really: first started reading Wikipedia for exam research in May 2005, became addicted in about a day.... Besides that- the essence of who I am is on my blog. However in a WP:Context I'm a mathematician, a philosopher, a geek and an avid reader. I also enjoy dancing and t'ai chi. My musical taste is varied, but (and this is how I always find out what people *really* like) if I could only save one type of music it would be hard dance, probably trance most of all. At the moment I'm listening to hardstyle, gabber and Disturbed.
Prior to 2008 I initiated three articles: List of Star Wars books, K'ai Men and Lee Style T'ai Chi Chu'an. I studied Lee style t'ai chi while I was at University (2-3 years) and enjoyed it thoroughly. I'd describe my level as advanced beginner.
I haven't done any serious editing on WP in the last 3 years as I find the mark up language a bit tricky to learn and there's so much debate and politics I'm just disinclined to jump in. Considering I am an eventualist I feel that any article I might need will be created at some point; I'm also an inclusionist. However I have recently created the Train to Gain article since I work in that area and feel that insufficient information about it is available online to the public. I also plan on working on the Sussex Downs College article as it not very informative.
I still love reading WP and it can still suck hours of my time away, I just...don't like arguing. Some talk pages read like cat fights- lots of hissing.
