Open editing may be a good way to start an encyclopedia, but I am starting to think that it is not a good way to finish one. – Kelly Martin
Me
An administrator "assuming good faith" with an editor with whom they have disagreed.
My main areas are the history of transport and urban growth in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and in occasionally rather dubious musicians of the 1980s and 1990s (particularly those listed here). I also contribute occasionally on the history and geography of southern England. And occasionally on industrial processes if I think they look interesting. And other articles no-one ever reads. Occasionally I can be pestered into rewriting an article that's heading for deletion into keepable shape, particularly for those 'borderline notable' indie bands that some editors seem to take a delight in deleting.
Roughly 75% of the people I come into contact with here seem to instantly decide they like me, while the other 25% passionately hate me. Most of that 25% seem to blame me for things other people have done. If I let that bother me, it would probably bother me. But I don't so it doesn't. Although it is the reason I don't give out my real name here (and you probably shouldn't either); the Eighth Busiest Website On The Internet by its nature attracts a lot of cranks and nutcases.
And I fully intend to knock Twee pop into some kind of respectable shape by, oh, some point. Three years and counting since that promise was first made. Still waiting.

The Vanity Bit: Some articles I've created or substantially rewritten
Articles I've created from scratch listed in italic. This list is a representative sample, and not all (or even most) articles are listed — if you actually care, you can see the full list the usual way.
To do list
"A million things I am unlikely ever to carry out, but I like to make believe..."[1]
- Expand The Aislers Set from its sorry sub-stub state;
- Standardise & write/rewrite Amelia Fletcher, Mathew Fletcher, Cathy Rogers, Talulah Gosh, Heavenly (British band), Marine Research, Sportique and Tender Trap; create album stubs for those albums that warrant it (most importantly 6 Billion People);
- Expand Ana da Silva, Gina Birch and The Raincoats, possibly merging the articles; also expand the individual album articles;
- Banco Hipotecario;
- Bow railway station
- Create Cannonball Jane;
- Create & reference Dan Treacy;
- Create Edith Starr Miller;
- Get Elena Roger up to a more respectable level;
- Expand Eric Campbell Geddes;
- Expand George Newton, 1st Baron Eltisley;
- Create George Wright Binks;
- Expand Grinding chain if noone else has;
- Hellingly Hospital;
- Get Hypnodog up to a reasonable status;
- Jack Currie
- Create James Selby;
- Get Julian of Norwich to GA level (reminder);
- Source & rewrite as necessary Knox (musician) and The Vibrators;
- Do something (not sure what) about Lee Valley Park;
- Write Raphanidoô if nobody does it first;
- Delete trivia sections and rewrite Television Personalities, and create stub pages for redlinked albums;
- Tina Barrett if nobody else gets to it first;
- Clean up Tom Paxton to get it through the WP:GAC hoop;
- Expand the stubby mess of Tottenham Hale;
- Stop putting it off, and get around to rescuing Twee pop;
- Expand Underwater Moonlight;
- Create Vale of Health;
- Finish expanding Walthamstow Marshes;
- Wickenby – why is this a redlink!
- Clean up and expand William Beldham.
General long term goal that'll probably never happen; get every band/musician listed in my entry at Soundtrack of Wikipedians up to at least GA status, and ensure that every album has at least its own stub article.
- ^ From "Hopefulness to Hopelessness" by Marine Research, from the album Sounds From the Gulf Stream, should you care.
