Please feel free to leave me a message.

Welcome to my user page. I'm Benjamin, and I've been editing Wikipedia since June 2013. I began editing to try and improve local pages that I thought were lacking but have since branched out to other topics. Below, I've got a few links for my personal use, along with some userboxes and files I've contributed to Wikipedia.

I'm very serious about using URL archives and consistent formatting when I cite sources. I lean inclusionist, but seem to get more moderate in that respect the more I edit. I'm always willing to discuss, and I appreciate when others drop a line to ask about an edit or revert.
