~ Welcome to my userpage ~ Today is Wednesday, November 13, 2024 Communication My CZ talk page Click here My name is Denis Cavanagh and I like contributing here when I'm at work. Who knows, when I'm back in College I might write the odd article here and there, but I wouldn't bank on it. I like seeing most of the red links here turn blue as Citizendium slowly develops :-) I joined here sometime in July, 2007, heartwarmed by an attempt to create an encyclopedia more reliable and frankly better than wikipedia. Although personally I do belive Wikipedia and the Citizendium can complement each other nicely - Wikipedia for pop culture and trivia, Citizendium for more academic persuits. I am in university in Dublin, Ireland, studying History.
