I have started a few more including such categories as "British people in Japan", "Scottish people in Japan", "British diplomats" (now very large), "British diplomats in East Asia", "Diplomatic incidents", "Old Cheltonians" and "Japanese national universities", though one or two of them anonymously before I very briefly used the name "Roxymusic". I have since settled on the name "Historian", which I prefer, and I intend to stick with this one. (After all it includes my first name "Ian". Neat, eh? ;-)

I have written quite a bit of the early versions of the following pages: Scotland national rugby union team and individual players, Scottish Rugby Union, Kitakyushu and the wards of Kitakyushu, Treaty of Shimonoseki, Tsuwano etc.

And I have migrated quite a few of the VC holders from the Victoria Cross Reference website to wikipedia. (Duncan Boyes was one of these.) See Wikipedia:WikiProject Victoria Cross Reference Migration.

The following pages which I started have survived a Vote for Deletion (VfD):

Scottish rugby commentators and journalists

Andrew Miller (rugby player)

I have uploaded various photos taken by me and a few other images. See User:Historian/images. See also [http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Historian my contributions to Wikimedia Commons.]

In the real world I also write books, edit or translate them. See [http://www.lulu.com/ianruxton here]. (Note: Hold on to your hat, you are about to leave wikipedia!
