From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I am John, an early-retired Analytical chemist and scientist, born in Merseyside, now living in Surrey and was making good use of my time by addicting extra and hopefully useful information to Wikipedia. For the last 15 years of my working life I was an IT analyst, working for a global pharmaceutical company.

Edit Summary: | General Statistics |
Being analytical and an IT professional in a highly regulated industry I am well suited to the provision of detailed factual information, validation, and compliance so I expect my contributions will be somewhat based on analysis of information form different sources, or addition of some detailed natural photos, since travel, nature and photography are my key hobbies and pastimes. Although a fan of Wikipedia for many years, I only started contributing in July 2014.
Recently I have become despondent with Wikipedia. Factually correct articles have been deleted because someone decided they are not important. Some of my own images removed on copyright grounds, and I and generally fed up with some very difficult and argumentative people. Information which is clearly correct and verifiable from the internet, should not require independent references but it seems too many people (or robot bots) are only too willing to delete hard work done by others. I am therefore taking a back seat and do not intend to write any new articles. Do not be surprised if I do not reply to messages.
