About me
[edit]
Based in Southend-on-Sea, Essex, I'm a Wikipedia editor with a particular passion for English non-league football and the stories that don't always make the national press. I edit across a range of topics I genuinely care about — sports, entertainment, business — with a focus on getting the sourcing right and the prose readable.
When I'm not editing, I follow Southend United F.C. home and away, and have been known to go underwater occasionally.
Editing interests
[edit]- Football — English non-league in particular; currently working on
Southend United F.C., Billericay Town F.C., and associated player articles
- Biographical articles — sports figures, entertainers, and public
figures
- Boxing — results, biographies, and fight records
- Comedy and entertainment
- Scuba diving and outdoor activities
- Business and commercial subjects
- Articles for Creation (AfC) — reviewing and developing new drafts
- Referencing and sourcing — cleaning up unsourced claims and improving
citation quality
Editing approach
[edit]I try to write the kind of article I'd want to read — clear structure, strong independent sources, neutral tone, and no fluff. I lean heavily on regional and national news outlets for sports coverage, and I think a good edit summary is just basic courtesy.
I'm particularly interested in improving coverage of non-league football, where articles are often stub-level despite the subjects being genuinely notable.
Articles for Creation
[edit]I occasionally review and develop Articles for Creation drafts. If you'd like feedback on a draft, feel free to drop me a message.
