I am a barrister and retired civil servant living in London. My areas of interest (within Wikipedia) are law, comparative religion and linguistics, especially Romance and Semitic.

I have user pages at the following projects:

• Latin language Wikipedia
• Italian language Wikipedia
• English language Wikibooks
• Ancient Greek project incubator
• Metawiki

I have contributed to the following articles. (The semi-colon or full stop after each article name is a link to that article's talk page.) It does not follow that I am an expert on all these topics! In some cases I have just added references, or edited for sense and grammar.
