About me

I do a huge amount more reading on Wikipedia than editing. I tend to find that I only have anything much to contribute to articles with low or relatively low numbers of page views. I really don't have a whole lot to add to articles such as the Standard Model or photon.

If anyone ever wishes to contact me privately, you can do so by emailing Kookiethebird@hotmail.com. If you don't want to risk waiting months for a response though you should notify me via my Talk page.

Tables
I'm a big fan of tables as I feel that numbers can be much more useful than words in understanding how an organisation is doing. For example, a police force might be described as "good", or it might be broken down into parts with descriptions of "excellent", "good", "fair" or "poor", but that doesn't tell me much, whereas detection rates tells me a lot more.

These are some of the tables that I've created.

Road casualties in London
The following table shows the number of casualties, grouped by severity, on the roads of Greater London (including the City of London), over the past four years.

Road casualties in Surrey
The following table shows the number of casualties, grouped by severity, on Surrey's roads over the past three years.

Road casualties in Sussex
The following table shows the combined total figures for the number of casualties on the roads of East and West Sussex for the most recent three years for which data is available.

Detection rates
The following table shows the percentage detection rates for the Metropolitan Police by offence group for 2010/11.

General Election 2010 results
The following table shows the results for all Surrey constituencies in the General Election in 2010. The results are given as percentages.

Current and past rates [for minimum wage]
This table shows the current and past rates and is correct as of October 2012.
