I found Wikipedia on 28 December 2002 (UTC) and haven't been able to stay away! It is addictive and my latest meal went cold in the oven about 4 hours ago. I think I am a Wikipediaholic already! - noted 13:14 Dec 30, 2002 (UTC) I am a New Zealander, living in Upper Hutt - so will probably write the article - if I can. I am a telecommunications engineer with an interest in Call Centres, Queueing theory, Erlang as well as things New Zealand including Wellington, Christchurch - especially my home town of Sumner as well as things Maori (though I am pakeha).

- Culture of the Maori - because my NZ article needed to refer to it.
- Almon Strowger, Strowger - Because he deserves a good biography on the net, as the internet would not have been possible without him and his invention - the automatic telephone exchange
- Dial as in telephone and because Rotary dial is only half the story.
