Welcome to my User Page
I'm a British early-retired librarian living in Silverdale, Lancashire, having moved here from Leeds originally to look after my late Mother. I have a range of interests and a tendency to proof-read and correct typos! I used to spend a lot of Wiki-time Stub-sorting, and sometimes start by correcting one link and end up improving a network of related pages. I've worked with Category:Disambiguation pages in need of cleanup, WP:Suggestions for disambiguation repair, WP:Typo Team and WP:CiterSquad at various times. I contribute to the Women in Red editathons, picking one or two topics which look interesting, or are UK based, or if all else fails have the initial "P": it's a challenge to produce new articles on topics in fields where I don't usually edit, and I keep a list of my WiR contributions, taking great delight when one article fits two or, occasionally, three of the month's editathons. After a superb walk up Black Combe, April 2012, I decided to sort out the WP articles for the Outlying fells, which turned into quite a project. When I attended a meeting in Preston Patrick I found that it, and many other South Lakeland parishes, had no article - so I made them.
I've created a motley collection of articles or stubs, to fill gaps: some sparked off by a red link, others when I look up a topic of interest and find it's not yet got an article. Something on Radio 4 will sometimes inspire me: "Have they got an article?" "If not, are they sourceably notable?" "Let's go." And suddenly it's lunchtime, and I sat down with my breakfast. (Retired life!) I'm very glad that I've kept the list, below, which reminds me why I created each article, and recommend the practice to other editors. Wikipedia has the fascination of an infinite jigsaw puzzle - there's always another piece to fit in.
I'm increasingly worried about gradual deterioration in our articles, through links going dead, information becoming out of date, and accidental or worse damage by later editors. I've decided, 2023, to start looking through the articles, listed below, which I've started: but it's a slow process and can lead down a lot of rabbit-holes of related topics needing attention.
Yes, I know the page looks a bit of a mess at present - will learn about layout sometime and prettify it!
Articles, templates and stubs I've created
Not including umpteen disambiguation pages created while working on Wikipedia:Suggestions for name disambiguation and otherwise, surname pages created as a list of name-holders, a few articles where I've created a "non-infringing stub" to rescue a copyvio article's non-creative elements and its incoming redirects, lots of redirects, etc
