My first visit to the encyclopedia was in December 2003, though I made my first edit in November 2004. From 2006 to early 2008, I contributed on on a frequent level and helped expand and improve several high profile articles, eventually getting Bill Clinton, University College London, Jonathon Band and Winston Churchill to Good Article status at the time. Since 2016, I mostly contribute to maritime, geography and history subjects, with a focus on Scotland related articles. In September 2022, I helped improve Charles Edward Stuart and took it to GA. In 2025, I worked on Cuthbert Collingwood to get it to GA status.
I have in the past done some GA reviews but stopped so I could focus on article expansion. I am however always happy to help review any article, just leave me a message. For my old GA reviews see:
