Hallo everyone.
My interests include classical music and buildings. Looking back at my contributions, some of the articles involve things I have found interesting since I was a teenager in Hertfordshire, England, while I have acquired new hobbies along the way.

Articles
A lot of articles I have created are still stubs or "start". In terms of quality improvement I have got further with articles started by other people.
- Good/Featured Article
- Bach Cantata BWV 4 in collaboration with Gerda Arendt. Improved via "good article" status (2015) to being a featured article on Easter Sunday 2016.
- Bach Cantata BWV 131. Previously DYK, GA 2016.
- Bach Cantata BWV 183. GA 2016.
I have also done some DYK (Did you know?)
- Bach Cantata BWV 131: a collaboration with Gerda Arendt. The DYK was in 2012, the article was subsequently upgraded to GA
- Edith Villiers, Countess of Lytton: a collaboration with Victuallers in 2015
- Josefa Celsa Señaris: a collaboration with Victuallers in 2015
- Rooks Nest House: AnemoneProjectors gave me a joint credit in 2020, although he did most of the work
Training activities
I qualified as a trainer at a [https://wikimedia.org.uk/wiki/Training_the_Trainers/February_2013_event "Training the Trainers" course] in 2013. As an accredited Wikimedia trainer (Technical - Full; Institutions - Supporting), I have helped at a few events, see [https://wikimedia.org.uk/wiki/User:Thoughtfortheday my page] on Wikimedia UK. Sometimes I used my alternative account for training purposes.
I retired from Wikimedia training in 2024.
Editathons attended (not as a trainer)

I have attended a couple of events in the North-West of England, for example Clitheroe Castle Museum 2015 (I will leave you to guess which of the people in the photo is me).
