History

My first registered edit on Wikipedia was on the 12 March 2006. I also made several anonymous contributions prior to that date. As there is never enough time in the day, my presence on Wikipedia can be a little sporadic. Some months I could have as many as 1000 edits, while others I’ve had none. I strive to make my edits as good as possible, but like all Wikipedians I am only Human and am prone to make mistakes. Although I edit widely I also take an interest in Infrastructure (Highways, Bridges, Airports, Trains etc), Music, Landmarks and any Australia related articles.

Contribution

At present my goal is to achieve a GA status for several of my favourite articles, however due to time constraints I'm aware that this could be a long term goal. I am currently not interested in becoming an administrator, however I am open to the possibility that one day I will pursue this. At present, I am concentrating on my writing style, paying attention to readability as I help to expand the English Wikipedia. The majority of my time on Wikipedia is spent fixing typos (my own included), adding citations, Template work and helping to establish Notability. I have at times significantly edited articles. Here are some examples of my work:

Images

While no professional, I do get a level of satisfaction from photography. I have uploaded numerous images, nearly all are available in this gallery.

Accolades

If the quality of a Wikipedian's contributions are measured by Barnstars, then I may be in trouble.
