MapsMan is a frequent contributor on Wikipedia — including providing factual corrections, adding templates or making copy edits — as well Commons, Wiktionary, and a number of other language versions (see User:MapsMan#Contributions).

The first page I started from scratch was the article on Griffin Park, the home of my favourite football team, Brentford.

I have since created the following pages:

Not included are stub articles which were created for disambiguation purposes.

My main interest is music, followed by travel (borne out of an interest in Geography and transport), language (including foreign languages, Etymology, linguistics, phonology/phonetics) and "culture", which I take to include my main love, music, as well as art, literature, poetry, or anything that takes my fancy!

I am a former member of the Sunderland Symphony Orchestra, playing the Viola. I am also a member of lunastation, which is an electronic music project/collective/group producing work broadly falling into the categories of chill-out, ambient or trip-hop.

I hold dual UK and Australian citizenship, although I have never - as yet - set foot "down under". I was born in 1981 in Enfield, the most northerly Borough of London. Between 2000 and 2007, I lived on Tyneside, having moved there to study Civil Engineering at Newcastle University and remained in the region after finishing my studies. I graduated with a 2:1 MEng (hons) degree in 2004. I now live in Shoreditch, in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets.

I currently work as a traffic engineer for London Borough of Harrow. I also hold a CertTESOL, which means I can Teach English as a Foreign Language anywhere in the world.

The anagram of my real name is fey wanders far, which I think is fantastically appropriate, providing you accept the poetic licence of using the adjective fey as a noun.
