Me

I am James Maxwell Bell. I was born some years ago in New York, but now live in Princeton, New Jersey. I have a good sense of humor (which I like to call my "sixth sense") and good common sense. My writing skills are somewhat unused, my last "great" work having been writing more than 2 years ago. My reading skills... well, that's a different story. I find practical jokes funny (kinda), but respect the feelings of the poor victim.

Projects

On Wikipedia, I seek to improve the conditions that the everyday men and women face, which the Nobles do not do, simply because they have no balls. I specialize in diplomacy, peacekeeping, and informal arbitration. So far, I have successfully mediated one heated debate, namely between Nanshu and the Irish Greek on the topic of Nanyang, and am now helping steer the Tsushima Islands debate to calmer waters. This debate is an offshoot of the Messr. Tan problem: a certain Messr. Tan, around 14 years old, is trying to find his place in the real world, and unfortunately chose the Kingdom of En to practice his newly-found skills. I am one of many trying to give him advice and make him listen to it.

Many other debates go unsolved; I seek to find them and free the debators from the oppression of hostility.

My Contributions

Not much have I written on Wikipedia, with just over 500 edits at the time of writing. The following I did write or significantly contribute to:

• Glyptothek
• Englischer Garten (expanded article)

And many other copyedits on many other articles left by Messr. Tan in appalling states (State of Calamity, State of Disorder, etc.)

Miscellaneous

Backup files are stored bothe on my Hard Diske and in my crumbling archives. When seeking things to contemplate, I turn to my olde ally, my self. And to welcome newcomers to En, I use this banner.
