I'm an infrequent editor, although signs of wikifever are developing. I am active under a different name in another wiki concerning software. In that life, I've done quite a bit of programming including work with pywikipedia.

My first couple of attempted user names were taken, so I have again called on the useful uniq utility. Strange that, while we are each unique, it's often easy to predict what kind of editor you are dealing with from observing just a couple of edits.

My interests focus on evolution and mathematics, but most of my time is taken resisting the erosion of articles by unhelpful changes or linkspam additions.

If you're wondering whether to post some advice about something I've done, please do – I welcome comments and corrections.

Blueprint Barnstar 2.PNG The Template Barnstar
This barnstar is awarded from the grateful English-speaking nations of the world for your heroic and successful efforts in finding a solution to the Shapiro reference template for the Shakespeare authorship question article. Your elegant solution now allows two ISBN numbers to be displayed in one Harvnb template, thus saving countless hours of manual labour for Wikipedia editors on this and future articles and allowing speakers of both British and American English to be able to retrieve source cites from two different versions of the same work. He that edits this page and helps bring it to FA, when the history of Wikipedia is written, will stand a tip-toe when this article is named, and this accomplishment shall the good Wikipedian teach his son, and Shakespeare authorship shall ne'er be mentioned from this day to the ending of the world, but in it your contribution shall be remembered.
