The Floral Hall of the Royal Opera House, my favourite building in London.

I am not perfect. All of my edits are open to negotiation. If you come across an edit of mine that you feel is misleading, insufficiently referenced, inappropriate, off-topic, dumb, silly, or just plain wrong, then please feel free to revert me. Once you have done this, I would appreciate it if you leave an note on my talk page informing me of where I went wrong and how I can avoid the same mistake in the future. BRD, etc. The same applies to my administrative actions.

My primary Wikipedia interest is classical music. I've done a lot of work with the Opera Project, and so far my major/favourite edits include:

Other stuff on the to-do list:

Also doing copy-edit work for Meladina and his incredible series of Russian opera articles. I will be happy to copy-edit for those who wish to contribute but do not have English as their first language. I also have accounts on Commons and Meta under the same username.

My primary source for referencing such material is Grove Music Online.

I have received a heavily Classics-based education, and a good one at that. One of the advantages of this is that I can get my head around subordinate clauses with ease. The disadvantage of this is that I tend to insert lots of the darn things into my English prose, which I can understand but no one else can. As a result, my sentences tend to be rather lengthy and somewhat convoluted. For the purposes of Wikipedia, which quite rightly favours professional prose, this is a bad thing. If you do come across some work of mine that is written in this manner, please also feel free to fix it and simplify the prose.

To view what I'm working on at the moment, see User:Moreschi/Workspace 1. See User:Moreschi/Wikithoughts, Wikimorality, Wikiphilosophies for some thoughts on what happens around here and how the place works.
