User:King Hildebrand

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The name King Hildebrand derives from Gilbert and Sullivan's Princess Ida. It is one of the many G & S parts which I have never played. For others, please refer to any available score. When I sing, I'm a bass baritone. This is not relevant to my activities here.

[edit] Expertise

I am an expert in virtually nothing. That is, I do not consider myself up to the task of creating a page from scratch. This has not stopped me from trying, but I left it as a stub for more knowledgeable contributors to revise.

On the other hand the breadth of the subject matter about which I know a little is large. I can venture an opinion in most fields other than popular music and sports.

[edit] Character

"I'm a peppery kind of king, who's ill disposed for parleying..." I don't suffer fools gladly, least of all myself. I try to be tactful with others, but can be scathing about my own mistakes. I will yield gracefully in the face of superior knowledge, but will fight my corner when I believe myself to be in the right.

[edit] Contributions

Corrections to spelling, grammar and format. A few additions of extra meanings on disambiguation pages. Links adjusted here and there. Geography, anatomy, science, history, literature... One or two additions to date pages. Little bits here and there.
