About me
Hello! My name is Doug and I am a New Zealander. I am currently a student at the University of Otago. I have a degree in pharmacology and I'm currently studying philosophy and psychology. I have been a Wikipedian since August 12, 2004 and I was doing occasional anon edits for several months before then.

What's with the name?
It doesn't mean anything really. It's just a vague reference to the philosophy of Aristotle and other thinkers. See the article first principles for a rough idea.

Wikipedia Goals

  • To be bold and innovative but always maintain a neutral point of view.
  • To create or significantly contribute to at least one high quality Wikipedia article per week.
  • To create appropriate and high quality images and audio to improve articles.
  • To guide an article to featured article status fairly soon.

Declaration of Potential Bias

"Advance apologies"

  1. Sorry for sounding harsh
    One of the curses of communicating remotely, via writing, is that it is very easy to misinterpret someone's tone. Occasionally I write messages which, while written with the best intent, can unwittingly seem icy or hostile. If you get that impression, I apologise. Usually I intend my comments to be non-judgemental and constructive.
  2. Sorry for being dumb
    Even though I have been a Wikipedian for quite a while now, I still have something to learn about Wikipedia's policies and operating procedures. This means that sooner or later I will screw up or do something plain stupid. If I do, please accept my advance apology, and my assurance that if I do mess something up I will do my best to fix it.
