[edit] Me

I discovered Wikipedia on 9th February 2004, and started editing on 11th April 2006. I am from the centre of the Midlands in the UK.

I would like to thank all those who correct my spelling, typos and quirks of detail. Sometimes I tend to hurry too much. So much to do!. ... ... :)

I believe that images should be generally entered as thumb, without an explicit size, so that individual users can choose what size is best for them in terms of download bandwidth (speed and cost), and in terms of ink used when printing (particularly for drafts of changes). I appreciate the value of a good colourful photograph in the right place in an article, but:

  • if you like big pictures you can set your default in my preferences
  • if you like small pictures, then ditto
  • different browsers will show different things to different people
  • viewing on a different screen size will change the appearance greatly from the "ideal" set by one editor on a given computer
That's why I use thumb anyway. See also: Wikipedia:Manual of Style#Images

If you don't think I am doing the right thing, please let me know on my Talk Page.

[edit] Commons

I have migrated most of my photographs to Commons. If you require any particular pictures on Commons you may, of course, move them yourself, but if you leave me a note on my talk page I will do the move. It's quite nice for me to be the original uploader on Commons for my own images :)

I would like to thank the many Admins who have assisted this process by deleting the originals. Excellent work which is invisible to most people!

I intend that all my GFDL photographs be published without diclaimers.
