This Wikipedian believes education level, background, etc. does not necessarily a good editor make, but that it's good to know something about an editor to help show interests and where one is coming from, so here goes: I have a degree, with highest honors, in public and international affairs with minors in English and biology, plus additional highest honors in a further degree in social and clinical psychology, from a top ranked national university. After working in both the private and public sectors, I obtained a Juris Doctor degree with honors from a top ranked law school and practiced law for over 38 years primarily in civil trial, and corporate, contract, and property law. I have been a member of a university institute, an officer, including president, of professional associations, an editor-in-chief of a professional periodical, a senior partner in a top ten city law firm, a member of a state law revision committee, a special assistant attorney general, have represented clients in multimillion dollar matters, and have taught professionals and college students. Wikipedia is one of numerous hobbies. I hope to provide and promote constructive editing, always welcomes help, and always wish the very best to everyone of good will.

My List of You Should Know It is The Reader that we should consider on each and every edit we make to Wikipedia. (Thanks to Alan Liefting) "There are people who have good sense. There are idiots. A consensus of idiots does not override good sense. Wikipedia is not a democracy." Jimmy Wales "Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever." Mahatma Gandhi "Education without values, as useful as it is, seems rather to make man a more clever devil." C.S. Lewis "But let justice roll down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream."
