FT Reader
A word about this username
I am a Wikipedian interested in the economy, society, politics, business education and academia. An avid reader of the Financial Times (FT), I have named this account FT Reader, short for Financial Times Reader, to disclose my interests and biases but leaving out the actual words Financial Times to avoid any assumption that this account is in any way official, connected to the Financial Times, or intended to promote the Financial Times. I have not, and have never had, any connection to the Financial Times except as a regular reader.

Wikipedia Background
Disclosure about my background on Wikipedia
As an experienced Wikipedian with several years of experience and thousands of edits, mostly good but sometimes bad, I am starting this second account with the intention to contribute solely to the fields outlined in the first paragraph, broadly construed. My primary Wikipedia account has never been banned or blocked, and no policy is breached by this secondary account. This account will never be used contrary to Wikipedia policies, certainly not in any activity that would constitute sock puppetry; the two accounts will never take part in the same debates, discussion or page edits.

Professional Background
A not-brief-enough overview of my professional background
I have a PhD in business, and have published two books with academic publishers and number of articles in peer reviewed international recognised academic journals with relatively good impact factors. None of this matters one bit on Wikipedia! I disclose it for transparency and as a part of my bias, but my background can never be used as an argument on Wikipedia, and I have no intention of using it in that way. If you came to my page because you and I have different opinions, just keep arguing your views! Any disagreement on Wikipedia comes down to presenting good arguments supported by reliable sources. It does not matter who we are. If you came here because we had a disagreement and I had forgotten the above, don't hesitate to remind me!
