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?")

Created:

• Rudolph von Ripper, fascinating Austrian-American surrealist artist and intelligence operative
• Stamford University (England), briefly-extant 14th century English university
• Adelfius - a surprisingly extensive article about a 4th-century bishop we know almost nothing about
• Seely & Paget, 1920s architectural partnership and probably couple
• Bishop Cosin's Hall, the third college of Durham University
• Sam Green (councillor), the first openly gay candidate in any British election
• St Chad's Hostel, Julia Warde-Aldam, Frederick Samuel Willoughby, Douglas Horsfall and a few other articles around the early history of St Chad's College, Durham

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 a single featured picture, but only because I did the final edit that was featured! I should probably upload some of my own photography.
