Me. Smiling.

User:Warofdreams/To do - User:Warofdreams/Sandbox

I'm Warofdreams, the name taken from the title of a book by Angela Carter. I'm from Sheffield, where I studied architecture at university. I am involved in socialist politics and work in community radio.

I've been a contributor to Wikipedia since August 2003, an administrator since February 2004, and I went to the first ever Wikimeet, in London. I'm also a bureaucrat, but there must be a better term for that.

I've been writing articles mainly on architecture, politics and places, and just occasionally on history, popular culture, the natural world and all manner of other topics. Currently, I'm mostly writing about Sub-Saharan Africa and politics in the United Kingdom.

"If we create 1000 pages a month, we will be able to hit 100,000 pages in only 8 years." User:Jimbo Wales, February 2001

"Our getting 100,000 articles is definitely not out of the question. Indeed, it's also far from impossible that we could have 1,000,000 articles someday; there are, surely, 1,000,000 topics of discussion in existence." Why Wikipedia is so great, April 2001 [1]
