About me
This editor is a Master Editor (40,000+ edits and 5+ years of service), and is entitled to display this Plutonium StarLe Chevalier aux Fleurs, resplendescent knight of the Encyclopedia, glorious dispeller of ignorance and prejudice.
Hi! I have been contributing to Wikipedia since 2004/03/06. With over 52,000 edits to date, and more than 6 years of service, I am a Master Editor, i.e. one of the Top 40 Wikipedians in seniority and edit count combined.
My main interests revolve around World History and cultural interaction through the Ages, and I enjoy developing content on these subjects. I tend to focus on trans-national phenomena, "connection" history between civilizations, and the role of non-European civilizations in world history. I am a fervent supporter of Wikipedia:NPOV policy, according to which all significant views should be presented in articles (not just arbitrarily defined "majority" views), and an inclusionist who feels that all true information, however seemingly minute, does belong to an encyclopedia that aims at being "the sum of all knowledge".
This user has been on Wikipedia for 20 years, 8 months and 1 day.
My main interest is cultural interaction through the Ages.
The motto of the AIW is conservata veritate, which translates to "with the preserved truth".
This motto reflects the inclusionist desire to change Wikipedia only when no knowledge would be lost as a result.

Congratulations! Here's a medal for you in appreciation of your hardwork in creating, expanding and nominating 25+ articles for DYK. It seems a long time since Tillia Tepe and so many articles. Keep up the good work, PHG! --Victuallers (talk) 21:15, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
With great pleasure and on behalf of the wiki can I thank you for your contribution of fifty (and more) DYK articles. I enjoy that yours are not always "another anglo/american subject"! Thailand needs a few articles more? Keep up the good work (the 100 template is a really nice shade of yellow). Cheers Victuallers (talk) 09:40, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
Wikipedia Valued Contributor
In February 2009, PHG was determined to be a Valued Contributor, who "contributes resourcefully, cooperatively, and productively in many topics" and is "encouraged to continue contributing to Wikipedia and Wikimedia projects", by no less than 11 arbitrators (Passed 11 to 0 with 4 abstentions). At least, it shows that these bureaucrats may not quite be completely wrong all the time! Cheers
