About Smiler jerg

edit

A long time Wikipedia user and referee (re: someone who refers to Wikipedia), I've only made occasional edits. I hope to make more edits in future, expanding articles I feel are important and I can contribute to in a productive fashion. I've also written one article from scratch.

Pages marked for attention

edit

A major landmark in London, this article seems to lack considerable detail (or at least has less detail than I'd expect for such an important building). In particular, I hope to contribute personal photographs with a free licence for use on Wikipedia (as soon as I can next get there!).

Photography

edit

Being a keen (though very much amateur) photographer, I'm particularly interested in contributing freely licensed photographs for use with Wikipedia articles. I intend to check the various categories relating to requested photographs to contribute in this way. I'm also considering joining the photography WikiProject.
