About me
I do a huge amount more reading on Wikipedia than editing. I tend to find that I only have anything much to contribute to articles with low or relatively low numbers of page views. I really don't have a whole lot to add to articles such as the Standard Model or photon.
This area is blank
If anyone ever wishes to contact me privately, you can do so by emailing Kookiethebird@hotmail.com. If you don't want to risk waiting months for a response though you should notify me via my Talk page.
I'm a big fan of tables as I feel that numbers can be much more useful than words in understanding how an organisation is doing. For example, a police force might be described as "good", or it might be broken down into parts with descriptions of "excellent", "good", "fair" or "poor", but that doesn't tell me much, whereas detection rates tells me a lot more.
These are some of the tables that I've created.
