As you can tell from my edits, one of my pet peeves is unreferenced articles. As for my name, you can find its meaning here.

Articles I have created
Whilst nobody 'owns' anything on Wikipedia I feel a small amount of pride that some of these more obscure, yet notable, bits and pieces of knowledge are now available on the world's best encyclopaedia. I hope, after the 'birth' of these 202 articles that they have gone on and grown from stubs into magnificent expositions... one can but hope!
