A bit about me, so you can see where I'm coming from:
| Contents |
Bio
- Born: 1968, Basingstoke, Hampshire, UK
- Resident in: originally Tadley, Hampshire, UK; since then, various places in north and north-east London, currently Walthamstow
Interests
I am interested in almost anything (!), but particularly:
- science, especially astronomy and evolution
- football (especially Reading F.C.), cricket, and sport generally
- German culture (due to my half-German heritage)
- music: mainly, but by no means exclusively rock
- food
- genealogy
- history
- maps and cartography
About my edits
Most of my edits are minor, as I tend to find that the topics on which I have useful information are already fairly well-covered. And I'm very pedantic about spelling and consistency — at least as far as other people's work is concerned ;-).
New articles created
Doesn't include redirects etc.

Major additions or changes to existing articles
The word "major" is relative — should really be "edits that were more than just spelling corrections"
