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?")

Expanded:

  • Dunelm House, modernist building in Durham (now a listed building!)
  • Durham College, Oxford, a medieval college belonging to Durham Priory whose buildings were used to found (and in some cases still house) Trinity College
  • Doxbridge, an article I was never very attached to but ended up very involved with largely out of frustration at the bad arguments of those who wanted to delete it

I technically also have two featured pictures (illustrated), but only because I did the final edits that were featured! I should probably upload some of my own photography.
