''I am going on indefinite break to replenish my energy reserves and to focus my creativity and diligence onto other projects. We must also not forget the exams. I will check in from time to time to make sure all is well, but mostly, I will be gone. It might be some time before you hear from me again, but then again, forget it. For reasons unknown to me. A bit confusing, eh? I'll just leave it at that then. See you soon - I hope. - [[User:JMBell|JM]][[User_talk:JMBell|Bell]][[Special:Contributions/JMBell|°]] |

<font face="EngrvrsOldEng Bd Bt" size="+1">I am J'''ames '''M'''axwell '''B'''ell'''. I was born some years ago in New York, but now live in Princeton, New Jersey. I have a good sense of humor (which I like to call my "sixth sense") and good common sense. My writing skills are somewhat unused, my last "great" work having been writing more than 2 years ago. My reading skills... well, that's a different story. I find practical jokes funny (kinda), but respect the feelings of the poor victim. |

|||
<!--===Studies=== |
|||
I have studied (or am studying): |
|||
*'''English Basics''' (i.e. '''Grammar''', '''R. & L. comprehension''') to the fullest, |
|||
*'''English Literature''' to an extent, |
|||
*'''Ancient History''' (esp. Ancient '''Egypt''', Greece, and Rome, as well as the Phoenicians, Babylonians, Chinese, Britons, Mayans, etc.), |
|||
*'''Medieval History''' (esp. the Crusades), |
|||
*'''Mathematics''' (Alg. and Geom. until beginning calculus; have won 2 awards already in state math competitions), |
|||
*'''Classical Physics''' (to be continued), |
|||
*'''Quantum Physics''' (beginning), |
|||
*'''Astronomy''' ('''not''' astrology), |
|||
*'''Geography''' (quite good), |
|||
*'''Geology''' (also quite good), |
|||
*'''Theology''' (always looking for people I can discuss this with), |
|||
*'''Art''' (sculpture; paintings, a little), |
|||
*'''German''' (lived in Germany for a couple of years, "very good" Deutsch, said they), |
|||
*'''Latin''' (obligatory in Germany, still taking this up here), |
|||
*'''Ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphs''' (self-studied), |
|||
*and of course, '''Music''' (which is one of my multiple future careers and so far the most promising). |
|||
An '''award''' to anybody who can '''guess my age''' and '''my instrument'''! |
|||
===Accent=== |
|||
American, but not strong. I can imitate '''British''', '''Scottish''', '''Spanish''', or '''Italian''' accents very well. Am. or Brit. spelling is all the same to me.--> |

<h3><font face="EngrvrsOldEng Bd Bt Bold" size="+1">Projects</font></h3> |
|||
<font face="EngrvrsOldEng Bd Bt" size="+1">On Wikipedia, I seek to improve the conditions that the everyday men and women face, which the Nobles do not do, simply because they have no balls. I specialize in diplomacy, peacekeeping, and informal arbitration. So far, I have successfully mediated one heated debate, namely between [[User:Nanshu|Nanshu]] and [[User:Mel Etitis|the Irish Greek]] on the topic of [[Nanyang]], and am now helping steer the [[Tsushima Islands]] debate to calmer waters. This debate is an offshoot of the [[User:Mr Tan|Messr. Tan]] problem: a certain Messr. Tan, around 14 years old, is trying to find his place in the real world, and unfortunately chose the Kingdom of En to practice his newly-found skills. I am one of many trying to give him advice and make him listen to it. |
|||
<font face="EngrvrsOldEng Bd Bt Bold" size="+1">Many other debates go unsolved; I seek to find them and free the debators from the oppression of hostility. |
