User:SidP

SidP has been participating on Wikipedia since November 2004. A copy editor since he was in college at Emory University in Atlanta, he found that his skills and experience could help make WP a better resource. He has, at times, been employed as a professional copy editor and proofreader for various media, including books, websites, advertisements, and catalogs.

He enjoys reading all kinds of content but has a difficult time resisting the urge to help improve the grammar, formatting, punctuation, etc. that can be unpolished in many Wikipedia articles. He even formats references.

His primary intention is to increase the quality of the website.
