Since joining wikipedia on February 2, 2006 I have found myself in a variety of situations preforming a variety of different roles. I suppose im here because I like what we are doing, it is such a good project and an excellent idea though some not everything works. There are far too many article on total crap. I tend to do a little bit of everything on the site; I've made quite a few articles for a start, around 40 to date. I dont just write an article, I like it to actually look good and read well! I generally heavily reference them too so that they have value unlike half the crap on here =O I also vote in a variety of areas on the site, most often on Featured picture candidates and more recently at WP:AfD. I like to think im a nice user, I'll always try and help and keep civil and one day i hope this will help if i ever run for Admin. Another major thing im involved with is reverting vandalism, it bugs me that people want to ruin things but the minority spoil things for the majority; as in life. I've taken a few pics in my time too, I dont own the best camera in the world but that will be put right soon, I'll probally get one for my 18th, well hopefully =] Overall im here to make the site better and i hope im doing well!

What I do
  • Vote at FPC
  • Vote at WP:AfD
  • Disambiguate pages
  • Write sport, music and media articles


  • Fix new pages per WP:MOS
  • Add person data to articles see WP:DATA
  • Welcome new users

Football Articles Rewritten

As part of my on going aim to make wikipeida better i have taken a greater interest in rewriting articles rather than looking for new ones to make. After all there is only so much that you can write about, it is what we already have that needs the work. So basically what I do is take a scrapy article which has become a collection of I.P edits randomly describing transfer's and injuries and turn it into a readable and well referenced article that has value as it is verifiable. Obviously I'd love to write them all to G.A status at least but generally they are around the B mark.

  • Marc Pugh - Began rewrite on 6 May 2006 and finished on 6 June 2006 [3]
  • Besart Berisha - Began rewrite on 23 August 2007 and finished on 23 August 2007 [4]
  • Robbie Blake - Began rewrite on 4 September 2007 and finished on 7 September 2007[6]
