From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hello. I'm Liam Proven, a UK-based freelance journalist and IT consultant. For more information about me, rather than duplicate it here, I suggest you visit my blog or lamentably-outdated homepage - links at the bottom of this page.

I was enticed into writing for Wikipedia (as opposed to merely using it for reference) in 2003 by User:David_Gerard and alongside David I also know a number of other Wikipedians in real life, such as User:Sheridan.

In the closest thing to Wikipedia commentary I am likely to make for the nonce, I would ask passing readers to note that this bio is entirely devoid of stars, badges or other little blazons and logos proclaiming membership of various factions of Wikipedians. I would also note that it contains my real-world identity and contact details. I feel that these are a sine qua non for anyone who would wish their authorship to be taken seriously.

In a vague attempt to keep track, I note that -- in addition to contributions to many others, some quite lengthy -- to the best of my recollection I am the original author of the following articles, in no particular order:
