User:YorkshireLad

Hey, welcome to my user page. Feel free to leave me a message over on my talk page.

I discovered in October 2019 that there's an inactive Wikipedia account with the name "Yorkshire Lad", with a space. That account has nothing to do with me! (It only has three non-userspace edits anyway, from 2006.) I'm also unrelated to, whose existence I discovered in November 2020.

Other accounts: I once had an account many years ago that I've long since forgotten the password to, and this account was very briefly at "YorkshireGold" until I realised that was a violation of WP:USERNAME (Yorkshire Gold is a brand of tea).

Articles I've worked on

 * 500 Queer Scientists (created article; appeared on DYK on 22 April 2020)

 * Minister for the Union (mostly added sources)

Milestones
Milestones for $$n\geq 3000$$ are the first time my edit counter reached $$n$$; milestones for $$n<3000$$ are the $$n$$th extant live edit as of 22 November 2020 (so it is possible my edit counter hit that number earlier, if some edits that were then live have since been deleted).

Trivia

 * My topics of interest are (or at least seem to be, from the above) LGBTQ+ themes and shopping malls.
 * I attended the Ada Lovelace Day Wikithon at UCL on 8 October 2019, and the LGBTQ+ Wikithon at the Wellcome Collection on 26 February 2020.

Useful wikitext that I always forget

 * to quote a template
 * for a paragraph break within a list (per WP:INDENTMIX)
