about me

George Watson in February 2011
George Watson, February 2011
full
My name is George Watson /ˈʤ ɔː ʤ 'w ɒ t.s ə n/ [IPA] (but everyone knows me as dendodge /'d ɛ n.d ɒ ʤ/), and I am a student from Lincolnshire, in the United Kingdom. I was born on 23 June 1994. As well as studying for A-levels in biology, mathematics, and physics (having already completed an AS level in chemistry), I am an administrator and accredited reporter on news website Wikinews, and the author of the dystopian thriller Thur's Utopia.

My interests include news and politics, theoretical physics, Star Trek, and the music of The Beatles.

I am an atheist, and believe strongly in the principles of Secular Humanism.  It is my belief that religion has no place in today's scientifically and morally enlightened society.

Politically, I am a liberal socialist, and strongly support social liberty and equality. The political party my views fall closest to is the British Liberal Democrats (currently the minority party in the coalition government), though I do not associate myself with any party, due to dissatisfaction with the current British political system on both sides of the spectrum.

my best work on wikinews

I have been active on Wikinews since 17 October 2008, and a Wikinews administrator since 7 November 2009.  I gained community accrediation on the 20th of the same month. I was elected to the Arbitration Committee in the July 2011 election. My term expires in August 2012.

Some examples of my best work on Wikinews are:
  1. Tony Blair tells Iraq Inquiry he would invade again (featured article)
  2. Thirteen dead, several wounded in Fort Hood, Texas shooting (featured article)
  3. Out of space in outer space: Special report on NASA's 'space junk' plans (original report)
  4. Indiana Department of Homeland Security violates Wikipedia copyright (original report)
  5. UK Attorney General Lord Goldsmith admits to changing mind over Iraq war (broadcast report)
  6. UK holds referendum on voting system (broadcast report)
  7. UK cabinet minister Jack Straw ignored advice that Iraq invasion was illegal
