I'm TSP, and
- I've been Wikipeding since January 2005 (though I was quoted on Wikipedia some time before 2002).
- I live in Durham in the North East of England
- I'm a graduate of the University of Durham - I was at St Chad's College and represented Durham on University Challenge.
- I play double bass, bass guitar, guitar, drums, piano and a few other things. I play in a punk-folk band, a brass band and at church.
- I'm not notable (though two of my family are).
My interests are probably best summed up by my contributions, but here are few pages I've been significantly responsible for, usually because I stumbled across something and thought "Why doesn't THAT have an article already?" (or sometimes "...have a better article already?")
