User:Justintree
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Justintree is a sometime-contributer from Canada. His main contribution is the revision of the page on August Albo, inspired by a painting picked up at a yard sale and his desire to learn about the artist.
[edit] Origin of User Name
Justin is an avid reader of books. The name Justintree comes from a favourite series of novels by author Piers Anthony, the Xanth series. The character is a man named Justin who was turned into a tree for standing in the way of a revolutionary magician on his quest to become king. Justin chose this username when a lack of creativity met a character with a shared first name in a book.
