I've recently finished studying for a BEng in civil & structural engineering at The University of Leeds.

I'd known about wikipedia for quite a while but only signed up and started contributing at the start of this year. I don't spend alot of time editing, and when I do I don't really have any major areas of concentration. I do hope to help expand the West Yorkshire geography stubs articles. My main interests are computing and sci-fi, but most of these articles are already well developed so i'm of little use :o)


My first article is/was a rewrite of Skelmanthorpe, i'll be working on this for a bit.
