Me.  Smiling.
Me. Smiling.

I'm Warofdreams, the name taken from the title of a book by Angela Carter. I'm from Sheffield, where I studied architecture at university. I am involved in socialist politics and work in community radio.

I've been a contributor to Wikipedia since August 2003, an administrator since February 2004, and I went to the first ever Wikimeet, in London. I'm also a bureaucrat, but there must be a better term for that.

I've been writing articles mainly on architecture, politics and places, and just occasionally on history, popular culture, the natural world and all manner of other topics.

[edit] Quotes

"Finally, we'd like to announce a fun project loosely associated with Nupedia, Wikipedia. Have a look and write a paragraph or two!" Front page of Nupedia, January 2001
"If we create 1000 pages a month, we will be able to hit 100,000 pages in only 8 years." User:Jimbo Wales, February 2001
"Our getting 100,000 articles is definitely not out of the question. Indeed, it's also far from impossible that we could have 1,000,000 articles someday; there are, surely, 1,000,000 topics of discussion in existence." Why Wikipedia is so great, April 2001 [1]
