==Intro==

It seems sensible to put info about me and about what I'm doing / hoping to do on wikipedia here. If you want to add praise / criticism / comment, could you do it on [[User talk:SGBailey]] please.

Info about me can be found on my personal website
http://www.stocton.org and, since I may well go through long periods when I don't do anything here - even visit - I can be contacted by email on <SGBailey@iee.org>.

----
I suspect that my main contribution to wikipedia will be fixing others' spelling mistakes!

My interests include [[Go (board game)]], [[Fairport Convention|Fairport Convention]], [[Jethro Tull (band)|Jethro Tull]], [[Folk music]], [[Mathematical games]], [[Maps]], [[UK places]].

==Useful stuff that I've learnt about wikpedia recapped==

<!-- This is an html comment. Does it display? Gobfrey Shrdlu -->
*&lt;nowiki&gt;...&lt;/nowiki&gt; can be useful
*<code><nowiki>~~~~</nowiki></code> signs username and date/time
*<nowiki>''</nowiki> is ''italic''
*<nowiki>'''</nowiki> is '''bold'''
*External link title should use <tt>==</tt>
*County town lists use <nowiki>'''</nowiki> even though strictly incorrect.
*You can include HTML comments in the page, they are hidden from searches and only work at the start of a newline which breaks lists etc. There is one between the horizontal rule and "Useful" above.
*<tt><nowiki>#REDIRECT [[Article name]]</nowiki></tt>
*<tt><nowiki>Adopted orphan redirects for searching: [[Redirect article name]]</nowiki></tt>

<syntaxhighlight lang="perl">

  for my $in ( 1 .. 1000000 ) {
    my $sq = $in * $in ;
