Greetings! Welcome to my English Wikipedia user page. My scope here on Wikipedia is focused mostly on Sikhism and Punjabi-related articles, though I do dabble in other spheres of interest from time-to-time (such as the Sinosphere, namely China, Korea, and Japan).
I have been a long-time reader and lurker of Wikipedia for decades now but only decided to sign-up and start contributing myself relatively recently. I enjoy adding images of value to bland, text-only pages to provide a visual representation of a topic that will make it more stimulating and engaging to visual learners. I try my best to steer clear of using representational images to do-so and prefer images directly related to the subject, but this is not always possible to achieve. Furthermore, I take pleasure in expanding stub pages with more encyclopædic information whilst citing reliable sources in the process.
I prefer productive and fruitful dialogue in the event of a dispute between myself and another fellow editor. I do not like drama or conflict and will avoid it if possible. I will never personally insult you and I expect the same conduct from your behalf as well. Remember that we both have more in common with each-other than differences: we just want to make Wikipedia the best and most informative cyber resource it can be!
I am not perfect and do not claim to be so. If I have made a mistake anywhere in my activities, please do not shy away from alerting me on my talk page so that I may correct myself and note down my error to avert further future mishappenings. Life is a journey filled with humbling lessons.
Feel free to reach out to me if you would like to collaborate with me on bringing these above ideas into fruition.
