Hi
I live and work in London in the United Kingdom. I joined wikipedia in September 2004 and am currently browsing round articles that interest me, and making what I hope are useful amendments where I think articles can be improved. I strongly believe that articles should be written so they can be easily understood by as wide an audience as possible and edit in accordance with that belief.
My favourite sport is cricket (I'm a member of Surrey County Cricket Club) so you'll probably see me editing or creating cricket related entries.
I love to travel and appreciate different countries and cultures. But as they say "East, West, home best", so you'll probably see me on Britain related websites too. Unfortunately I'm not a very good photographer - but where there are currently no photos, maybe some of mine can do.
I have done lots of copyediting and contributed to many community sites. A brief summary of the articles I have made significant contributions to is below, though if you want to look at a complete list of my contributions, you need to look at this link and this link.
