Some wikipedian user pages tell their life story or reveal all sorts of interesting details about themselves, whilst others define their interests and values. I want to do neither, because I do not want to tempt the reader to stereotype me — so a few boxes to the right is all you get.
However, if you read on down, you'll find more about my work on Wikipedia.
Wikipedia Admin
Many thanks to everyone who contributed to my request for adminship in May 2006. I am delighted that it was successful, and I now have administrator powers on Wikipedia. Administrators have access to a few technical features which help with maintenance.
I regard admin powers as a privilege to be used sparingly and judiciously, but if you require the assistance of an admin, please feel free to leave a message on my talk page.
If you want admin help, please do try to explain clearly what you want done, and why ... and I'll try to either help you myself or direct you to a more experienced person if appropriate.

Wikipedia likes and dislikes
I like:
I dislike
- missing edit summaries; they only take a second or two, but make life a lot easier for everyone else. (see link to my own edit summary usage.
- when people think they "own" a stub article (see WP:OWN)
I am usually a reasonably placid and easy-going sorta person, but I believe that when people repeatedly breach any of the foregoing principles, they should be cruelly punished.
It has been suggested that being forced to listen to Barry Manilow would be an appropriate form of retribution, but I am inclined to think that this is too cruel and extreme. Maybe something milder would do, such as being boiled in oil. (Supportively and non-violently, of course, with plenty of WikiLove, and tongue very firmly in cheek).
Currently working on
- splitting Cat:British MPs by recategorising MPs under the appropriate parliament:
- Cat:Members of the pre-1707 English Parliament
- Cat:Members of the pre-1707 Scottish Parliament
- Cat:Members of the Parliament of Great Britain
- UK Parliament (since the Act of Union 1800)
- Cat:Members of the United Kingdom Parliament from Irish constituencies (1801-1922)
- Cat:Members of the United Kingdom Parliament from Northern Ireland constituencies
- Cat:Members of the United Kingdom Parliament from English constituencies
- Cat:Members of the United Kingdom Parliament from Scottish constituencies
- Cat:Members of the United Kingdom Parliament from Welsh constituencies
- As of 20006-10-24, I have recategorised about half of the 950 MPs who were in that category at the strat of the month
- Creating stub articles, with a list of MPs, for former United Kingdom Parliamentary constituencies
- Creating stub articles for former Members of Parliament in the British House of Commons
- trying to do a bit of work on the never-ending task of Articles for deletion
Contributions
A full, blow-by-blow list of my contributions is available at the usual place.
This is just a few notes on my areas of interest and on new articles I have created. (or rather, it will be when I get around to writing it ...)
(British parliamentarians, Irish parliamentarians, US United Methodist Bishops, US prisons)
