My name is Steve and I come from Gloucestershire in England.

The articles I've worked on most are The KLF (which I've helped take to Featured Article status), The KLF discography, and articles related to The Beatles.

A short-hop link between two of my favourite subjects: "The nearest parallel to the K Foundation donation would be The Beatles' grandiose plans for Apple Corps; but where Apple handed out money willy-nilly to little end and failed to achieve anything more than get some hippies stoned and put up some nice posters about war being over if you want it, Drummond and Cauty have found a specific target - the relationship between art, money and the critical establishment- and attacked it. By actually offering UKP40,000 to the artist who produces the duffest piece of work, they've simultaneously sent up the whole thing and proved their integrity the hard way." (NME)

I don't know how you feel about these Barnstar thingies, but I felt that, considering your contributions and seemingly tireless work (and the fact that you need to seek a Real Life™), you needed to be recognised as a valuable contributor to Wikipedia. Congrats! Mal 14:52, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

The da Vinci Barnstar
Through the WikiProject Biography Spring 2007 Assessment Drive, 44,324 articles were assessed, reducing the number of unassessed articles by an astounding 33% - from 135,345 to 91,021. In addition, many of the assessed articles further were linked to the appropriate work groups, significantly improving the chance that these articles will be improved. Without the assistance of the bots/scripts and rapid technical responses by Outriggr and yourself, the assessment drive would not have achieved such significant results. For your enhancement of Wikipedia through your technical work in the assessment drive, WikiProject Biography Spring 2007 Assessment Drive hereby awards you The da Vinci Barnstar. -- 17:47, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Deleted article?

If you need access to a Wikipedia article that has been deleted, ask me. If it's not a copyright violation, libel, or personal information, and has not been deleted as a suspected WP:BLP violation, I will provide the text for you.

Note that using the text to recreate a deleted article automatically qualifies it for speedy deletion, and keeping deleted content hanging around in your userspace has gotten editors penalized before. But that's your problem.
