Hi there. This is my page :)

=Resources and references=

About my Wiki activities

I formally registered as a Wikipedian in April 2006, but had used, enjoyed, admired and occasionally edited Wiki as an unregistered user for a year or two prior to that.

I have a wide range of interests, but my primary interest is probably history, and history articles are what I spend most of my time on. I am also a regular contributor to DYK, where my primary activities these days are reviewing submissions and contributing to DYK discussions.

===Inactivity statement===

In the event that I become inactive for a period of six months or more without explanation, I hereby give permission for any user in good standing to work on or complete any articles in my sandbox and to move them to mainspace, or to utilize their content in the content of other articles.
