From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I am a software architect living in London, England.

My plan at the moment is to use this page as a place to keep notes to myself about contributing to Wikipedia

from manual of style "Other sections

Other common sections (in the preferred order) are:

   * Quotations
   * See also
   * References
   * External links

See also:

   * Wikipedia:Guide to layout#Standardized appendices.
   * Wikipedia:Filmographies and Discographies"

All succession boxes should go at the very end of the article, following "External links" but preceding the categories and interwiki links.
