User:J Milburn

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search

Hello! I'm J Milburn. I edit under my real name and I am a student from Cumbria, England, currently studying philosophy at Lancaster University. On Wikipedia, I write and review articles, work with images, and generally bounce around where I please. I spend time working with featured article candidates, good article candidates and featured picture candidates, and try to chime in at other featured processes where I can. I'm happy to offer help to new and old users alike, and so if you need anything, you're more than welcome to contact me on my talk page.

I have made over 85,000 edits on the English Wikipedia, placing me in the top 200 contributors by number of edits. I'm an administrator here and on Commons (see my userpage there), a bot operator (see my bot's userpage), a member of the Volunteer Response Team and a WikiCup judge.

In the spirit of Durova's a recording, a score, and a portrait, I offer ten featured sounds; a full album by a notable artist, a first for Wikipedia. The set was praised in the Signpost when first promoted, and was chosen as the featured sound of the year, 2010. Sadly, the featured sound project is not currently active.
