Welcome. I am Gangskew. I am eager to collaborate with experienced Wikipedians to help achieve the project's aims.

I am a resident (and native) of Columbia, Missouri and a new member of WikiProject Columbia. I have a journalism degree from the University of Missouri, and I am an experienced writer and editor with an interest in improving all articles related to Columbia.

COI

In the interest of best adhering to Wikipedia's WP:COI guideline, and also taking into account guidance outlined in the plain and simple conflict of interest guide, I want to disclose that I may propose changes (via Talk pages) to articles related to my employer, University of Missouri Health Care.

I recognize the challenge of contributing to articles related to my employer, and I want to state that I am here to advance Wikipedia's aims of building a neutral, well-sourced free encyclopedia, and I will not at any point allow my own interests to supersede those of the project. Because of this, I will always propose suggestions on Talk pages and allow uninvolved editors to make the final call on whether or not my proposed changes should be implemented.

With this approach, I seek to add subject-matter expertise and reliable sources to articles to more fully bring them up to Wikipedia standards, while also ensuring that resulting changes are the product of community consensus. My goal is to uphold Wikipedia's policies regarding neutral point of view, verifiability and reliable sources. I am opposed to non-encyclopedic puffery, marketing speak and original research that would detract from the project's aims.

I am also cognizant of WP:OWN and view Wikipedia as a work in progress. Please feel free to leave a message for me on my User Talk page.
