Who I am

Zaphod Beeblebrox - "Three hands, two heads and one big ego..."

aka

30 year old analyst programmer in living in West Yorkshire.

I tend to be a little suspicious of any anonymous edits and can often be found trawling the Recent Changes page looking for vandalism that needs to be reverted.

My hobbies

My interests include going to live music events, archery, fencing and astronomy. I am also a member of CAMRA.

Articles I have contributed to

I have a great interest in British television and radio series - mainly in the science fiction and comedy areas ; I will be looking to considerably expand on Wikipedia's coverage of the topics by providing detailed entries of any unlinked articles.

Entertainment

TV Series

• A Bit of Fry and Laurie
• Doctor Who
• Marion and Geoff

Radio Series

• The Children's Hour (Note to self - this radio series needs to be fleshed out with writing credits, character descriptions and plot summaries)
• Delve Special
• The Men from the Ministry

People

• Dave Jones
• Bernard Levin
• Will Hay

Music

• British Sea Power
• Catatonia

Astronomy

• Blink comparator
• Saturn's natural satellites (confirmed the correct nomenclature of three satellites with the IAU)

Towns and cities

• Brighouse
• Wolverhampton
• York

Sport

• Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C. club honours
• Swimming at the 2004 Summer Olympics (major contributions to layout and content)

To Do List

West Yorkshire

Whilst constructing the list for the West Yorkshire category, I noticed that most of the articles are at best one-line stubs ; must do some work on improving the quality of these articles.

English cricketers

A number of articles on the life and achievements of various cricket players seems very sparse indeed. Expand some of these articles to make them more informative.

British radio/television comedy

I am a great follower of British radio and television comedy. A number of articles need to be created in this area (particularly for the radio comedy genre). Will also try to create some biographical articles for members of the cast if they do not already exist.

Work in progress

This isn't really meant for public consumption - it's just where I keep my "rough work" before saving it into the main encyclopedia:

Pages which I find useful - others may find them interesting as well ; but these are referenced primarily for my own benefit:
