Who is this guy?
My real name is Michael. I live in South Yorkshire, a county in England.

Why did I get involved with Wikipedia?
I came here as a contributor via Wikivoyage (the online travel guide from the same folks), but I've been using Wikipedia since the early days. I remember when up-to-date encyclopedias were only available to wealthy families, or people who had access to a good reference library and didn't mind waiting if someone else was using them.

As an IT consultant, my work often involves reading and writing project documents, and contributing to reference books. It's nice to write something a little more light-hearted once in a while.
