User:Tinkerbill

Tinkerbill is a vagabond member of the Tinker family, made famous by cousin Tinkerbell who shot to stardom in J.M. Barrie's Peter Pan stories. Tinkerbill has been known to collect scattered bits of information while travelling to share with anyone who wants to know. Like pots and pans, information and obersvations are full of holes that can be hammered and soldered over with discarded scraps; information is never purely from one source. Tinkerbill spent several years trapped in a bell-jar on a desk, lurking, waiting for a moment of escape. As with Tinkers of all size Tinkerbill has been called a thief, a liar and a good-for-nothing vagrant, but is actually just a nomad and a jack-of-as-many-trades-as-possible. Tinkerbill travels alone, flitting from place to place, never really selling many of the humble wares in that bottomless haversack, happy to break bread by the roadside with strangers, really just searching for a home.

Most of the stuff Tinkerbill has cobbled together is stored in the "subjective" category of data, pressed in the leaves of notebooks along with bar-napkins stained with musings. It is better that these unpolished, second-hand curios did not find their way into Wikipedia. Tinkerbill welcomes criticism for those meagre bits and bobs that were contributed, and begs forgiveness for being reticent rather than participatory.
