User:Tompw
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- I'm a math graduate from Bradford on Avon, a small town in West Wiltshire, in the United Kingdom. I knew the members of Blackbud at school (not very well - they were in the two years below me).
- Hobbies and interests: maths, pinnipeds, non-League football, clarinet, piano, church organ, bell ringing, field hockey, Stage lighting, Backgammon, philology.
- Many of my edits relate to maths, non-League football, or Canadian elections
- I also specialise in templates (see User:Tompw/templates and User:Tompw/leaguetemplates)

[edit] Frequently visited pages
- Maths: Portal:Mathematics, Portal:Geometry, Wikiproject maths, WP 1.0 stuff, Areas of mathematics, User:Tompw/Maths_cats. My masters project was entitled Curves and Singularties (PDF), and looked at n-dimensional curves in Euclidean and affine space.
- Non-League Football: Wikiproject NLF, User:Tompw/leaguetemplates for a full list of league templates, User:Tompw/allclubs for templates in action. (I'm the creator and editor of popular non-League football website thePyramid.info)
- History of rail transport in Great Britain series: pre-1830, 1830 - 1922, 1923 - 1947, 1948 - 1994, 1995 to date; plus List of British Rail classes
- Nunavut: Portal:Nunavut.
- List of NFL seasons
[edit] General wikipedia stuff
- My contributions as tompw and 217.155.46.150; articles most contributed to
- How to edit a page, Wikipipe tables, images, parser functions
- Contributions: Last time I checked, my edit count put me in the top 0.4% of users by number of edits. However, a hefty proportion have been related to placing templates, so that doesn't reeally mean much. To me, the edit count is like the scenry on a train journey: it may be pretty and nice, but has nothing to do with the destination.
- Currently, the largest proportion of my edits is (non-League) football related, typically addding navigation boxes to club articles (I've probably edited over a thousand club articles). Other areas include maths, elections, Nunavut, physics, astronomy and railways.
- (Highly outdated) sample of major contributions: Areas of mathematics, 2005 Atlantic hurricane season (although so did 1,000 other people), Homotopy groups of spheres, English football league system, Clarinet, List of Saskatchewan general elections, History of rail transport in Great Britain series, contents of User:Tompw/templates, and most of templates listed on User:Tompw/leaguetemplates
- I also created the colour scheme used on WP 1.0 for denoting the importance of articles, and the current scheme used for the quality of articles, which are used on over 400,000 articles (well, their talk pages).
