Hello There

Hey there, I'm an physicist and engineer living in Manchester in the UK. I've been an editor here since early 2006 and have a deep interest in music, photography, motorsport and the history of Science. I'm not on as much as I used to be, as I'm über busy in real life; so if you leave a message, please be patient for my response.

I had a seven year hiatus as an editor and I’ve decided to come back part time now as all the bickering and nastiness from the past has hopefully gone for good.

I’ve also found out in the time that I’ve been away, there was bickering over an old snap I posted calling it amateurish. It was. It was well composed, but it was amateurish. I’m now a published photographer and will never call a shot amateurish. There is no such thing. In my opinion, conforming to an imaginary standard is not how great photography is produced in the world.

Important notice about Student Television

Due to the actions of some users, I have no further intent to participate in editing or defending articles pertaining to Student Television. I'd like to thank the genuine care shown by a majority of relevant editors in the community, that have good practice standards and show respect to other users.

Wiki Likes

I'm an inclusionist, so I like the expansion of wikipedia. I'm all for more content. I've written articles myself, and that to me is what Wikipedia is all about. Sharing the knowledge. Trouble is that I'm getting feed up of the abuse of the inclusionist philosophy that has become more and more rife here. that's why I've joined AWWDMBJAWGCAWAIFDSPBATDMTD

Minor Wiki Hates

Only two really. Vandalism, and advertising. Vandalism can be a funny thing, and I've seen some very funny satirical examples, but Wikipedia isn't the place for it. If you want Satire and silliness, then check out Uncyclopedia.
It's a well known fact that most articles on Wikipedia that are related to an entity are written by the people involved. In most cases this is acceptable (charities, non-profitmaking societies and the like). However I hate it when companies and websites just want to use Wikipedia as a free advertising hoarding. I won't hesitate to mark these for speedy deletion.

BIG Hates

EXCLUSIVE EXCLUSION.

International editors not understanding the relevant situations and taking the guidelines as defacto.

Editors manipulating the system to selfishly push their own point of view onto other wikipedia users

BOTS - Need I say any more!

Finally, there are some users, mostly from the United States of America, who have had a problem with me correcting them about the usage of the English Language, and also facts on Wikipedia that have been bent by users to support their own, and not a neutral point of view, to an extent of changing articles mid-debate to back their own argument. As a result of this, I have been accused of being in a cabal, Sockpuppetry, Meatpuppetry and had administrator-level investigations into my actions (to which I have been aquitted every time, and the malicious nature of the accusation noted). Just because I am supported in a debate by other users does not mean that they are in such a cabal, or Meatpuppets, that's not what any editor worth his salt is here for. We're here for the greater good of wikipedia, and not to score brownie points by editing for the sake of editing and having the best user page ever. After all, Wikipedia is an occasional hobby. I still have a life!

This user is a member of the Association of Wikipedians Who Dislike Making Broad Judgments About the Worthiness of a General Category of Article, and Who Are in Favor of the Deletion of Some Particularly Bad Articles, but That Doesn't Mean They Are Deletionists AWWDMBJAWGCAWAIFDSPBATDMTAD Est omnino difficile iudicare inclusionis meritum cuiusdam rei in encyclopædia cum ratio sciendi quid populi referat incerta sit, sed nihilominus aliquid encyclopædiam dedecet It is generally difficult to judge the worthiness of a particular topic for inclusion in an encyclopedia considering that there is no certain way to know what interests people, but some topics nevertheless are not fit for an encyclopedia. This motto reflects the desire of these Wikipedians to be reluctant, but not entirely unwilling, to remove articles from Wikipedia.
