=== Interests ===
I like researching and writing on a variety of topics, as I guess the list below shows. I tend to lurk about on the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Missing encyclopedic articles|Missing articles]] WikiProject.

== Some of the articles I've worked on ==
Some favourite ones in '''bold'''. Key: [[Image:DYK star.png|noframe|10px]]:[[Template talk:Did you know|Did you know]], [[Image:Symbol support vote.svg|noframe|10px]]:[[WP:GOOD|Good articles]],  [[Image:LinkFA-star.png|noframe|10px]]:[[Wikipedia:Featured articles|Featured articles]]
