User:W. Frank

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

W. Frank is trying to take a wikibreak and will be back on Wikipedia on the day justice and common sense prevail at last. Most likely, however, W. Frank won't be able to keep away from Wikipedia for that long, and will probably be back a lot earlier, possibly even making some small edits every now and then anyway.

This user might or might not have academic degrees, and considers them largely irrelevant on Wikipedia because of the many trolls, false identities and pseudonyms.

Born 21 June 1946, Dresden, Germany. Male (but won't throw a hissy fit if you use a wrong pronoun).

My Rufname is Frank so I naturally prefer to be called Frank rather than W or bstard or sockpuppet or whatever.

When younger, mounted several trans-Sahara expeditions. Restored & renovated Mercedes Benz cars until ill health made me stop. Retired former Managing Director of English company specialising in Bank card security software. Unmarried Vegan interested in Victorian Architecture, English Furniture and Gardening.

Started editing on Wikipedia on 4 December 2006 but learning fast, I regret!
Lives Glasgow, Scotland (and so qualifies for free, nationwide Bus travel - thank you Scottish Parliament!)

“ Wikipedia is built on (among other things) twin pillars of trust and tolerance. The integrity of the project depends on the core community being passionate about quality and integrity, so that we can trust each other. The harmony of our work depends on human understanding and forgiveness of errors. ”
