  • Perey is short for Peregrine; both names are aliases.
  • Rapidly went from frequent reader to editor when my pedantic nature overcame the voice telling me not to add another distraction from uni.
  • General interest: everything. Hence being on Wikipedia, you know. Pedantic grammar and spelling policing a speciality.
  • Specific interest: Australian information, fantasy fiction, language. This list is terribly out of date by now. So just take 'General interest' as above.

[edit] Wikipedia opinions

This list will be added to as things come to mind.

[edit] Commonwealth vs American spellings

As an Australian, I favour Commonwealth spelling. But I'm generally all for a balance of power on Wikipedia. Individual articles should be consistently one or the other, except where specific instances call for a change within an article. I revert edits made to Americanise (and, I suppose, Briticise, if I ever came across one) an article without any justification (like consistency).

[edit] Links that I want to keep handy

Special:Contributions/218.214.12.19 (Sometimes I forget to log in...)

de:Figuren aus Mittelerde (Edited this anonymously when I randomly decided to cross the lines to the German Wikipedia one day, and saw an error. No, I don't speak German. They'd just put wrong information on the Quenya roots of Ilúvatar... no, sorry guys, Quenya for father/vater isn't "vatar".)

[edit] Currently working on...

Nothing in particular. I've gone off constant watching of my watchlist, first because I had work to do, now because I have holidays. But I haven't taken a Wikibreak just yet...
