__NOTOC__

I'm on Wikibreak indefinitely
I am unhappy with the project and have cut back my time here to prioritise other stuff. If you leave a message on my talk page I should see it. Otherwise I am only checking Wikipedia every couple of weeks and making occasional edits

My name is Simon Lyall. I started contributing to Wikipedia in July 2004.

For more information about me see [http://www.darkmere.gen.nz my homepage]. I don't believe in putting 50 boxes all over this page to show my languages spoken, favourite browsers and the like.

As of January 2010 I have made around 6,500 edits to wikipedia.

  • My 1000th edit on 17 Oct 2005 was [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3AAbout&diff=25679567&oldid=25675748 this one] to the Wikipedia:About page.
  • My 2000th edit on 15 March 2006 was [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=1982_in_New_Zealand&diff=prev&oldid=43867824 this] which added some content to the Deaths section of the 1982 in New Zealand article.
  • My 3000th edit on 30 July 2006 appears to be [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Lanchester_Valley_Railway_Path&diff=prev&oldid=66733896 this] which removed some categories from Lanchester Valley Railway Path.
  • My 4000th edit on 27 January 2007 appears to be [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Code_Blue_-_Emergency&diff=prev&oldid=103574251 this] which fixed a link from the book Code Blue - Emergency to its author James White.

== A quote ==

I used to be involved in Usenet a bit. Here is a quote that might be applicable to some who forget we're here to write an encyclopedia not debate their pet issues or form a social club.

"...it's about damn time that all of us who actually

give a damn about Usenet stand up and tell the people

who don't to fuck off and die." -- Russ Allbery
