Hi! My name's David and I've been editing since March 2004. I have the unfortunate habit of changing user names like other people change underpants, but it doesn't seem to be against policy and policy is king so don't complain. To work out my total edits, you have to add Chameleon and Chamaeleon to Helpful Dave.

Harsh-sounding bit

I do not accept any sort of POV-pushing, trolling or vandalism. All of my edits are in line with all Wikipedia policies, and are accompanied by just the right amount of info in terms of edit summaries and talk page comments. I shall ignore all and any attempts to engage me in pointless debate on any issue; I particularly take exception to attempts to elicit angry statements for the purposes of later quoting them out of context in order to further any POV agenda. My talk page is regularly pruned; if you want archives, click on "history".

I shall not bulk out Wikipedia talk pages in debate with you. You will get the last word, but only by talking to yourself. However, if you wish to be enlightened on any subject, then send me an e-mail; I shall reply politely. By entering into correspondence, you accept that I retain all moral, legal, privacy-related and copyright-related rights to the content of that correspondence, and that you may never divulge it to anyone. If you have a problem with that, do not contact me. Click to e-mail

In the light of recent events, I am also forced to demand that you do not insult my intelligence.

Friendly bit

There is no problem with leaving talk messages asking for my help though. I actively offer my services in resolving disputes, tidying articles, translating text, taking photographs and other tasks. Please do not let the harsh tone of the last two paragraphs discourage you from using my skills. I'm here to help! Click to put help request on talk page
