Anderskin

Anderskin is a Hamiltonian-in-exile from Canada. I have a Wiki score of 103, based on manual score on March 16, 2005. I will never retest myself manually or online.

Why I do what I do

After using the site for more than a year and making occasional contributions for half that time, Anderskin became a registered user in December 2004. Although I'm a non-joiner by nature (even when I believe in the cause), I received some encouragement to do so from Wikipedians and a computer geek friend.

My specialities and interests are somewhat diverse. They include:

• the Hamilton area, a highly underrated part of Ontario and Canada
• Germany, the good, the bad and the ugly
• la Francophonie, especially French-speaking minorities
• military history, labour history and women's history, especially in Canada and the rest of the Commonwealth
• novelty and comedy music
• vexillology and other flag-related topics
• playing cards, board games and other semi-educational pastimes
• cycling, camping and hiking (sometimes combined in one trip).

If these interest you, please feel free to comments on this page.

Hello, I created the Little Britain, Ontario page and don't understand why you deleted it to make your page? Both pages can exist at the same time and redirecting from one to another site might not be the most worthwhile. Thanks for your understanding and your contributions.Mikeonatrike (talk) 20:27, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
