[edit] Wikipedia

I edit mainly in the areas of linguistics, mesoamerican culture and history, anthropology, sociology, and religion. I mostly add and improve content but I also partake in discussions about content. I partake actively in maintaining neutrality and scholarly objectivity on several pages that are prone to POV conflicts of political or ideological nature. Among them: Jehovah's Witnesses, Out of India Theory, Olmec, Afrocentrism, Humanism, Maltese language (strangely enough). This editing pattern has brought me into the fray of several content disputes which have been very taxing on my patience and generally stressful. And engaging in such disputes makes it easy to get dirty hands while trying to clean up after ideological struggles. Therefore I have chosen to limit myself to observe the 1 Revert Rule. This means that if I revert an edit I discuss it on the talk page immediately and refrain from reverting the same edit if inserted again, instead resorting to the content dispute resolution process.
