About me
[edit]I'm British, have also lived in the US as a child (Los Angeles, Washington DC), and lived and worked in Japan.
I have a degree in Japanese language. My spoken Japanese is, these days, passable.
I play drums in a post-punk dreampop band, and I am married with one child.
Retired as of 2024 and now working for food charities in London.
I'm constantly learning about Wikipedia and the way it works, and now in my retirement have more time to spend on it.
Articles I have significantly contributed to
[edit]I have substantially updated, expanded and re-written the following articles.
- Crime statistics in the United Kingdom
- Crime in the United Kingdom
- Race and crime in the United Kingdom
- National Fraud Intelligence Bureau
- The Hydrant Programme
I have found several articles with duplicating sections which I have tried to de-duplicate and summarise (or excerpt). These include:
- Jimmy Savile sexual abuse scandal and the child articles for Operation Yewtree and Giving Victims a Voice.
- Crime in the United Kingdom and the child article Race and crime in the United Kingdom, and the corresponding section in Crime in London.
- The Limitations section from Crime Survey for England and Wales and its corresponding section in Crime statistics in the United Kingdom.
It seems to be common to add information to sections that would be better housed in the main article they relate to. In one of the above cases there was no hatnote to show that a main article existed, but it feels like excerpting should be used more often when a main article exists.
