User:SGBailey
It seems sensible to put info about me and about what I'm doing / hoping to do on wikipedia here. If you want to add praise / criticism / comment, could you do it on User talk:SGBailey please.
Info about me can be found on my personal website http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/SGBailey and, since I may well go through long periods when I don't do anything here - even visit - I can be contacted by email on <[email protected]>.
I suspect that my main contribution to wikipedia will be fixing others' spelling mistakes!
My interests include Go, Fairport Convention, Jethro Tull, Folk music, Mathematical games, Maps, UK places.
-- Steve Bailey.
Pages I've created:
Go proverb, engineering and science contrasted, On Numbers and Games
Pages I've substantially altered:
Surrey, Nim, Electronic color code, List of motorways in the United Kingdom, Dots and Boxes, List of 'years in music'
Pages I want to visit often (aka Favorites - how I hate that spelling in MSIE for Britain!):
- Special:Lonelypages
- Wikipedia:Village pump
- Wikipedia:Links_to_disambiguating_pages
- Wikipedia:Votes_for_deletion
- Misspellings list
- My edits
Useful stuff that I've learnt about wikpedia recapped:
- <nowiki>...</nowiki> can be useful
- ~~~~ signs username and date/time
- '' is italic
- ''' is bold
- External link title should use ==
- County town lists use ''' even though strictly incorrect.
- You can include HTML comments in the page, they are hidden from searches and only work at the start of a newline which breaks lists etc. There is one between the horizontal rule and "Useful" above.
