==Who I am==

Zaphod Beeblebrox - "Three hands, two heads and one big ego..."

aka

30 year old analyst programmer in living in [[West Yorkshire]].

I tend to be a little suspicious of any anonymous edits and can often be found trawling the [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Recentchanges&hideliu=1&limit=500| Recent Changes] page looking for [[meta:Wikipedia vandalism|vandalism]] that needs to be reverted.

==My hobbies==

My interests include going to live music events, [[archery]], [[fencing]] and [[astronomy]].  I am also a member of [[CAMRA]].

==Articles I have contributed to==

I have a great interest in British television and radio series - mainly in the science fiction and comedy areas ; I will be looking to considerably expand on Wikipedia's coverage of the topics by providing detailed entries of any unlinked articles.

===Entertainment===

====TV Series====

*[[A Bit of Fry and Laurie]]
*[[Doctor Who]]
*[[Marion and Geoff]]

====Radio Series====

*[[The Children's Hour (radio)|The Children's Hour]] (Note to self - this radio series needs to be fleshed out with writing credits, character descriptions and plot summaries)
*[[Delve Special]]
*[[The Men from the Ministry]]

====People====

*[[Dave Jones]]
*[[Bernard Levin]]
*[[Will Hay]]

====Music====

*[[British Sea Power]]
*[[Catatonia (band)|Catatonia]]

===Astronomy===

*[[Blink comparator]]
*[[Saturn's natural satellites]] (confirmed the correct nomenclature of three satellites with the IAU)

===Towns and cities===

*[[Brighouse]]
*[[Wolverhampton]]
*[[York]]

===Sport===

*[[Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C.]] club honours
*[[Swimming at the 2004 Summer Olympics]] (major contributions to layout and content)

==To Do List==

===West Yorkshire===

Whilst constructing the list for the [[West Yorkshire]] category, I noticed that most of the articles are at best one-line stubs ; must do some work on improving the quality of these articles.

===English cricketers===

A number of articles on the life and achievements of various [[cricket (sport)|cricket]] players seems very sparse indeed.  Expand some of these articles to make them more informative.

===British radio/television comedy===

I am a great follower of British radio and television comedy.  A number of articles need to be created in this area (particularly for the radio comedy genre).  Will also try to create some biographical articles for members of the cast if they do not already exist.

==Work in progress==

This isn't really meant for public consumption - it's just where I keep my "rough work" before saving it into the main encyclopedia:

[[User:Zaphod Beeblebrox/Work In Progress]]

==Personal bookmarks==

Pages which I find useful - others may find them interesting as well ; but these are referenced primarily for my own benefit:

[[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags]] - A list of tags to be used by [[User:Yann/Untagged Images|the Untagged Images Project]] ; I am currently trying to work my way through the sub-page : [[User:Looxix/untaggedimages-ab]] ; feel free to come and help me!
