MapsMan is an occasional contributor on Wikipedia — including providing factual corrections, adding templates or making copy edits — as well Commons, Wiktionary, and a number of other language versions (see User:MapsMan#Contributions).

The first page I started from scratch was the article on Griffin Park, the home of my favourite football team, Brentford.

I have since created the following pages:

Akasha (band) — a band formerly signed to Wall of Sound
Sunderland Symphony Orchestra — of which I was formerly am a member.
Old Bill — about the origin of the Colloquial British term (now moved to Wikitionary).
Rokin — a street in Amsterdam, one of my favourite cities.
National Tariff System — about the Dutch public transport ticketing system.
SmartWater — an anti-theft system about which I was trying to find info, and to my horror had no Wikipedia entry!
AntiProduct — crazy, crazy punk rockers!
Alex Kane — AntiProduct's eccentric frontman
Clam Abuse — side project of Alex Kane, with Ginger of The Wildhearts.
Haxo (Paris Métro) — ghost station on Paris métro which I mainly translated from French Wikipedia.
Vocal Sampling — a fantastic Cuban a cappella salsa band, whom I saw live at the Royal Albert Hall during a Prom-season.
Ebenezer Place, Wick — the world's shortest street (featured in Wikipedia:Unusual articles).
A1018 road in Sunderland
Single carriageway — the British term for the most common (i.e. undivided) type of road, highway or street.
NewcastleGateshead — the now increasingly fashionable brand name for the Newcastle and Gateshead conurbation.
