Hello everyone! My name is Jamie Gorton and I'm proud to make (even minor) contributions to Wikipedia. I took my B.A. in English from Saint Michael's College and my Juris Doctor at Boston University School of Law. I was born in Hooksett, New Hampshire and I currently reside outside in Malden, Massachusetts, outside Boston, Massachusetts. Talk · Contributions · Subpages · My homepage · My law office homepage · Twitter What I'm Up To Lawyering: I spend most of my time as an immigration lawyer. Hobbies: Numismatics and literature. Music: Umphrey's McGee, The Beatles, Phish, Queen, The Eagles, Kanye West, The New Deal and many more. Wikipedia and Me I believe Wikipedia is very valuable, even authoritative on some subjects. I worry that centralization and democratization of knowledge pose problems that we won't fully appreciate for many years but the problems of gentrifying knowledge are well known. I hope Wikipedia will be able to successfully balance accessibility with the richness of expert research and the depth of scholarly literature. I'm not in a position to bring the weight of scholarly literature to Wikipedia, but I am a Wikipedia:WikiGnome. My writing experience focuses on local rewrites to cut lard from articles and enhance local clarity. Wikipedia ads file info – show another – #21
