AlexChurchill is a software tester and quality engineer from Cambridge, England. Having been making minor contributions to Wikipedia anonymously for a while, he eventually decided to register.
The CamelCase of his user name does indeed indicate an origin in other Wikis: his most frequently haunted Wiki is ToothyWiki (http://www.toothycat.net/wiki/wiki.pl), where discussion frequently focuses on anime [1] (http://www.toothycat.net/wiki/wiki.pl?CategoryAnime), board games [2] (http://www.toothycat.net/wiki/wiki.pl?search_bb=1&search=CategoryGames), computer science [3] (http://www.toothycat.net/wiki/wiki.pl?search_bb=1&search=CategoryComputing), and surreal humour [4] (http://www.toothycat.net/wiki/wiki.pl?CategoryVoices)[5] (http://www.toothycat.net/wiki/wiki.pl?CategoryNotWhatItWasSupposedToBeAbout)[6] (http://www.toothycat.net/wiki/wiki.pl?CategoryRandom), but ranges across many other topics including theology [7] (http://www.toothycat.net/wiki/wiki.pl?ReligionMatters), cryptology [8] (http://www.toothycat.net/wiki/wiki.pl?Crypto), and philosophy. The site's administrator User:MoonShadow has programmed a variety of extensions [9] (http://www.toothycat.net/wiki/wiki.pl?ToothyWikiInternals) to the original UseModWiki source code. Notable is a BNF generator which draws its source from Wiki pages (see an example (http://www.toothycat.net/wiki/bnf.pl?page=Rachael/ArtsEssayGenerator), or another (http://www.toothycat.net/wiki/bnf.pl?page=AlexChurchill/MagicCardGenerator) which will only make sense to those familiar with Magic: the Gathering). (I've gone into such detail here because I suspect it would be a bit presumptuous to create a Wikipedia article about a Wiki that I'm fairly closely involved with.)
