Edward Coles, the man who kept Illinois free of slavery.

I am a Wikipedia editor who is sometimes busy (WP:VOLUNTEER), and can make mistakes or disagree with the consensus. I enjoy maps, statistics, and history far more than editing contentious topics.

My main goal is not to right great wrongs (https://en.wikipedia.orgview_html.php?sq=&lang=&q=Wikipedia:Tendentious_editing#Righting_great_wrongs), but to document events and information. There are some exceptions, such as genocide denial and slavery, but I don't articles on most edit contentious topics.

I am a graduate student (PhD statistics) at UIUC in the United States. I have a Bachelor's of Science in mathematics and statistics, and I can verify the results and proofs for most mathematics and statistics articles that are at the undergraduate college level or below. I don't focus as much on editing mathematics articles on Wikipedia, because I prefer using LaTeX formatting.
