User:Redvers

REDVERS Well, hello there! Glad you could pop by. I'm Redvers, one of a growing band of people helping make the internet that little bit better by building a free, collaborative encyclopedia that anyone can edit. I'm interested in British television and radio, the Great War, World War Two and contemporary history in the post-war period. My Wikipedia time contains lots of "just" reading the content (there are over a million pages here, all fascinating), much contributing and tons of tiding up and anti-vandalism... both something of a sad hobby in and of themselves. On 22 March 2006, 105 people decided to give me the keys to the janitor's cupboard and I am now an administrator here. I'm a Welshman who is to be found dividing my time between North Yorkshire, Merseyside and the beautiful Ieper in Belgium. I'm also a practicing homosexual - after all, practice makes perfect! I'm hoping one day to win an award for my contributions and dedicated practical research in this particular area. Want to drop me a line? Talk to me here. Want to see what I've being doing here recently? Or maybe you'd like to send me an email? Failing that, you could just play in my Sandbox. Do you use Firefox? Then you might like my cheap Wikibar idea. Awards I award this Barnstar of Diligence to Redvers for the amazingly detailed and organised Lew List. Redvers is hereby awarded the Random Acts of Kindness Barnstar for being an exceptionally kind, courteous, and good-humored Wikipedian.

Anything I can't clean up goes off to AfD - if an article is so bad it can't be cleaned and the references are so poor it can't be re-researched, then why is it here in the first place?

Charlie Parrot. Pictured not eating, sleeping or biting my fingers, thus making this picture unique. I like making maps. Sad, but endlessly fascinating - some of the boys in one of the hundreds of Commonwealth War Graves Commission cemetaries in Flanders. The VRT/RTBF communications tower in Brussels. Sixties architecture - brutal functionalism. This user is not a trainspotter. I just happen to like railways, that's all... Maastricht is a lovely Dutch town to go shopping in... but very cold in the winter!
