[edit] The Basics

[edit] Interests

My main interests involve:

  • Theatre, which I study and take part in on an amature level.
  • Computing, which I am considering a career involving.
  • Literature, which is probably a required interest considering the amount of writing on Wikipedia.

Some of my writings not relating to Wikipedia (a lot relating to web development)are held around Paul Carpenter Online.

I like writing articles about stuff that I know about (example being an article I started on The Leaveners) but I sometimes flick through the RC to find stuff that needs reverting or minorly fixing.

I am also a minor contributer to WiSci.

[edit] Credentials

Some people don't seem to regard my massive collection of userboxes as ample proof of my worth, so you might want to note my non-wikipedia-related qualifications.

  • In my GCSEs I got mostly B grade passes and a few C grades; for more details, take a look at my Curriculum Vitæ.

[edit] Randomness

Throughout my various travels, I have found that we do in fact exist. This is rather cool. For completely random crap, I also have an account on uncyclopedia. You can even check out my user page o'er there.

[edit] Contactability

  • Both my E-mail address and my .NET passport are: carpenter.paul@gmail.com.
  • You could look at my user talk page if you don't mind the rest of the world hearing.
  • I can sometimes be found on freenode under the moniker of PaulCarpenter or on Quaker IRC under the moniker of Tree.
  • If you happen to meet me for some reason in the real world then I am happy to discuss Wikipedia but I am too lazy to make arrangements to meet individual Wikipedians.
