So, here I am. This is my user page. Now what do I want to put here? Hello <waves>.
Wikipedia projects I am a member of.
- I am currently randomly going through Wikipedia and trying to neutralise the geographical knowledge required by a reader of any of the location articles. By this I mean that an article should not presume that the reader knows, for example, that Ohio is in the United States and that it should state in the opening sentence the country in which a location is located. This allows for easier reading and understanding by Wikipedians all over the world.
- Continue with putting national identifiers in any locational articles that need them.
A list of pages within Wikipedia that I find useful in my editing.
All of us on Wikipedia do what we do because we enjoy it and like to contribute to a greater community and not to gain recognition by our peers. However saying that some people do recognise others contributions and I would like to thank them for it.

County Londonderry stock text

Please refrain from altering references to County Londonderry to read County Derry. As per WP:DERRY the name of County Londonderry is to be used on Wikipedia. Also please note that, unlike the city naming, the name of County Derry is a purely colloquial name and not a historical name. If you read up on the history of County Londonderry you will see it was created from County Coleraine and there was not a historical County Derry previously that was renamed to Londonderry. If you continue to push edits that alter County Londonderry to read County Derry, you may be blocked from editing.
