Statement of bias

I always edit with positive intentions, but I sometimes make mistakes while acting in good faith. Occasionally, I may let bias seep into my work. As an added control against this, I am creating this statement of bias to disclose those biases that I am aware of. Of course, everybody has implicit bias, and this list should not be considered exhaustive. This list should also not be used as ammunition in a content dispute, though I am quite sure somebody reading this will consider that option. To clarify, I am publishing this information in my user space as a self-accountable reminder to edit from a neutral point of view, even in those topic areas that may challenge my beliefs and sensibilities. If you find that I have been non-neutral in my contributions regarding one of these subjects, please do the right thing and address it with me personally on my talk page; I have been known to change my mind after sober reflection. Thank you for reading. AlexEng(TALK) 17:58, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
