I am an academic living and working in the north-east of England. I've always lived in the region and have spent time in Durham, Sunderland and Newcastle. I work within a University Law Department and teach a variety of subjects related to English Civil law. I'm still fairly new to Wikipedia, but hope to become more familiar with the various techniques as I go along.
While it is important to remain civil to all users, please remember that new users may not be familiar with Wikiquette. So if you encounter a mistake by a new user please do not bite the newbie.
