Hopefully, I will only be here very intermittently from now on.

Some of the format of this page borrowed from BookgirlST. Most of this page not very up to date.

My interests at the moment

 * Doctor Who
 * Suicide (intellectually, not actively)
 * Charity
 * London Underground
 * Whatever happens to grab me at any point

I started these pages (and probably some others I've forgotten about)

 * A'Tong language
 * Aari language
 * Abau language
 * ChildLine
 * Cricket in India
 * The Daleks
 * George McDuffie
 * Inside the Spaceship
 * James Van Der Zee
 * The Keys of Marinus
 * Lympstone Commando
 * NCH
 * Richard Dimbleby
 * Scott Reiniger
 * Tachograph
 * Taillefer

I have significantly contributed to these pages (and probably some others)

 * 100,000 BC
 * Alternative medicine
 * BBCi
 * Bishops Cleeve
 * Brfxxccxxmnpcccclllmmnprxvclmnckssqlbb11116
 * Central Line
 * Characterization
 * Cryptozoology/Cryptid
 * Electoral alliance
 * Gilwell Park (well, I am getting married there!)
 * Holy Prepuce
 * International Rice Research Institute
 * Mills' mess
 * North London Line
 * Pornocracy
 * Saltaire
 * Samaritans
 * The Seeds of Death
 * Theater
 * Zlatko Zahovic

Things to do

 * Welcome new users.
 * Create a Doctor Who wikiproject
 * Monitor potential spam

Pages I plan to create (unless I get distracted by something else first)

 * More of the individual stories from List of Doctor Who serials
 * All significant languages from Ethnologue, including all with >1000 speakers and any with entries in the Rosetta Project
 * Some more of the missing articles from the List of encyclopedia topics

I would describe myself as

 * An eventualist, with inclusionist tendencies
 * Highly eclectic (just look at the lists above)
 * Aiming for compromise (though sometimes failing)
 * Ruthless with spam and other unnecessary external links
 * Less interested in Wikipedia politics than I probably ought to be. I know intellectually that it's important - vital, in fact - to work out issues like how we deal with disruptive users, dispute resolution policies, and so on. But that doesn't mean I can get up any enthusiasm for most of that stuff.
