[edit] About me

My home is Staffordshire in England but during term time I live in Nottingham. I have been involved with Wikipedia since 2005 and a member since March 1st 2006. I am currently studying for a MEng Civil Engineering degree at the University of Nottingham and hope to work as a Civil Engineer once I have qualified.

Within Wikipedia I am mostly involved with Wikiproject Civil Engineering creating and improving pages related to civil engineering though I am also involved in Wikiproject Biography creating new biographic articles for historic engineers as well as assessing and tagging relevent articles. Additionally I try to help out cleaning up vandalism (issuing warnings and/or advice when appropriate), changing links to disambiguation pages and discussing articles over at WP:AFD.

My commons account can be found here:[1].

[edit] Affiliations

Wikiproject Biography - mainly assessing and tagging stray articles I come across
Wikiproject Civil Engineering - creating articles for past presidents of the Institution of Civil Engineers and general tidying up.

I am also in fairly regular contact with other projects related to my work with WP:CEng. Some collaborations have included:
Wikiproject Ships
WikiProject North East England
WikiProject Transport in Scotland
WikiProject UK Waterways

[edit] Current projects

Creating articles for all of the presidents I have listed at List of Presidents of the Institution of Civil Engineers (71/144 completed)
Finding images for as many of the above as possible (38/144 completed)

In the (distant!) future I hope to do the same for presidents of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers and those at List of Presidents of the Institution of Structural Engineers
