I'm Zoë Kirk-Robinson, a freelance writer/artist originally from Durham and now living in Manchester. I have a degree in Physics but I don't tend to use it outside of occasional references in my writing, and I'm currently studing Law. Most of my work is available freely online, either at my personal website or one of my webcomic sites: The Life of Nob T. Mouse (surrealist science-fantasy and apparently 'not notable' despite being one of the oldest webcomics) and All over the house (humour).

I'm not currently all that active on Wikipedia. This is in part because of my workload and part because I agree with Penny Arcade's assessment of the manner in which an active minority of people on Wikipedia act. It is a sad fact that those with overinflated ideas of their own self-importance are able to destroy articles because they can't differentiate between their own beliefs and actual reality.

[edit] Contributions

I have contributed to the following articles in a manner that isn't limited to simple code/spelling/grammar corrections and other associated minor points:

  • The Ancestor Cell (Expanded the introduction, added plot details, story/continuity notes and some reference links);
  • Avril Lavigne (Corrected her place of birth, added info about early appearances as a vocalist on other artists' albums and added the name of her first manager to her bio);
  • Corbett vs Corbett (Created);
  • Drawing down the Moon (ritual) (Created as a stub and points to Wiccan ritual but needs far more work and reference to other practices).
  • Electronic Voice Phenomenon (Found and referenced research into EVPs; attempted to remove bias; and generally tried to improve the article - most of my attempts failed because a few people can't tell the difference between opinion and reality).
  • Life on Mars (TV series) (Created the Anachronisms section and made a few changes/corrections to other parts of the article).
