About me
My username is Michig. I have been around for a few years now, and am an administrator on the English Wikipedia and a winner of the Erasmus Prize*. We are still building an encyclopedia, therefore my primary activities are content creation and improvement, and the prevention of deletion potentially worthwhile content, although I'm happy to contribute to the not so good stuff being removed. My main areas of interest here are:
- Music:
- Reggae
- Alternative music
- Punk rock
- Hip hop
- Calypso
- Extreme metal
- British dance bands
- Cinema:
- Hong Kong cinema
- Russian cinema
- East European cinema
- Sport:
- Speedway
- Boxing
- Invertebrates
- Insects
- Spiders
- Snails and slugs
- Local history (local to Leicester and Leicestershire)
- Anything else that grabs my interest at the time or that I find needing work
Feel free to request my input on any of these areas. I have good sources on many of these.

Thoughts
- /How to find sources for popular music articles
- /Sensible inclusion criteria for future albums
- /BLP thoughts
- /Adminship criteria
- /Notability is bunk
- /You should consider the possibility that you're just not very good at finding sources
- /Reliable sources can sometimes publish utter drivel
- /Music related infoboxes-where did it all go so wrong?
- /Wikipedia's biggest problems
