From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hello,

I've been contributing here and there to Wikipedia since December 2004. My interests in the real world include maps, Columbo, Norfolk, Brighton, self-reference, number theory, David Lynch, The KLF, the misuse of statistics in advertising, polysemic words, ontology and linguistic deep structure, MC Escher, Pink Floyd, "Bagpuss", Ivor Cutler, social anthropology, mathematics education, "Look Around You", the night sky, and ice cream.

As an editor, I was incredibly busy for two months ending 23 June 2006, since which time I have been inactive. It's very likely that my contributions will resume, but I cannot be sure when. Do feel free to leave me a message.

[edit] The KLF

This user knows what time is love.

This user has significantly contributed to 12++ Good Articles on Wikipedia.

This user helped promote the article The KLF to featured status.

Have you heard of The KLF? Even if you know their more familiar chart hits (What Time Is Love?, Last Train to Trancentral, 3 a.m. Eternal, Justified and Ancient) you may not be aware that these fleeting and forgotten anthems are just the periscope of something far deeper and absorbing. The KLF (also known as The Justified Ancients of Mu Mu, 2K and other aliases) used art, music, counter-culture (including adbusting and anti-promotion) to describe a perplexing and enigmatic spiritual journey that has either ended or resulted in a hibernation period of unknown length. It's almost your duty to investigate it for yourself.

On Wikipedia, WP:KLF is an ongoing WikiProject, formerly administered by myself and kingboyk, but now in the very capable hands of kingboyk alone, under whose stewardship it is alive and very well. Four articles including The KLF article have achieved featured article status, and some (12+) KLF single and album articles have been bigged up as "good articles". Justified and Ancient has been in Wikipedia:Did you know?. At Wikimania 2006, the The KLF article won an award as the best Humanities & Culture article.

Can you help kingboyk? If you're interested, go to Wikipedia:WikiProject The KLF. All useful contributions are extremely welcome.

I award you this music Barnstar for first-class editing and teamwork on articles relating to The KLF. Since you've arrived we've got a quite fantastic 5 articles to Good Article status and the main article is well on it's way to Featured status... I was holding out until we achieved that, but why wait? You've done a sterling job and you thoroughly deserve some recognition for it. kingboyk 08:50, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
