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.

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.
