In the future, I'm looking to study computer science at Bristol University or Imperial College London. I'm also quite interested in mathematics, technology and music. My favourite genre of music is alternative rock, and my favourite bands are Pixies, Nirvana and Hüsker Dü, along with The Beatles and Frank Black. I've seen quite a few bands in concert and I have a Last.fm account.[1]
I have made numerous contributions to Wikipedia, mostly in bringing articles to featured or good status and I am currently active; as of March 2007 I have made over 5,000 edits to the English Wikipedia. However, I lately seem to have found a niche editing and improving articles about the Pixies. I created the Pixies taskforce to co-ordinate things, and am a member of its parent project, the Alternative Music Wikiproject.
You may want to take a look at my statistics and my barnstars. I've also got some thoughts about featured articles and how to go about writing them. By the way, I'm happy to help anyone to get up to speed with contributing to Wikipedia - everyone has something to contribute and the project always needs more experts. I'm also involved in other Wikimedia projects, including Wikibooks, Wikiversity, Wikinews and Wikibooks.
