In case you don't have the time to do the right thing and check out my [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3AContributions&offset=0&limit=500&target=Avb editing record], here's a range of informative user boxes, as well as what an extremely [[WP:RS|reliable]] external source has said about me
:. 

Or perhaps a [[self-reference]] may help: I am somewhere on the road from Wikipedia newbie to Wikipedia veteran. As of May 2006, after 1500+ edits, I have learnt enough to make somewhat authoritative statements about what makes Wikipedia tick, but not enough to be sure if I love it as it is, or might want to work towards change. As such, my contributions on the talk pages of policy articles are still largely geared to increase my understanding of the policies, mirroring my increasing understanding of how things are done in practice through participating in the regular work of creating/editing articles. 

I do not edit from a particular POV. I tend to add information on underrepresented POVs, and improve information on ''any'' POV, insofar as I know enough about the subject. To me, knowledge of a subject includes ''all'' relevant POVs, not the one I happen to prefer, if any. To know all is to understand all, to understand all is to forgive all. That applies to my personal life as readily as it applies to Wikipedia. Within practical limitations, Wikipedia is there to allow all people everywhere to know all. As such I am ready to edit for and from just about any POV. Perhaps the most difficult thing to understand about the "agenda" behind my edits is that I think my own POV (in cases where I have a POV I prefer - generally I like ''some'' aspects of ''virtually all'' POVs) is best served by accurate descriptions of all POVs. After all, that is how I have been reaching my own POVs for 50 years and counting. No prejudice, no hype. Drill down to the raw info, build your life on that foundation. I became a huge fan of Wikipedia's [[WP:NPOV]] policy from day one.
