About Me |
After finding incorrect information on a couple of pages back in 2015, I decided to create an account to fix these and to eventually add pages that were redlinks within my own areas of interest.In 2019, I started updating deprecated templates on these to the updated ones (eg changing 'Succession templates' to 'Adjacent stations templates'). Looking at some of the relevant modules and how they can be improved.
In 2020, I started the massive task of trying to make a BSicon map of Murray River (the 3rd longest navigable river in the world). I will probably follow this up with both the Murrumbidgee River and the Darling River as they are also navigable and the second and third longest rivers in Australia. I am unsure if I will also do the Goulburn River at the moment.
From 2021, I started fixing related articles to a uniform layout style (eg all Victorian Railway carriage classes to look the same), fixing the categories those pages should be in, and adding them to the relevant WikiProjects.
Did you Know
- There is apparently a total 2,978 localities and 79 LGA's in Victoria.
Both a gift and a curse...
My brain runs at a million miles a minute, never stopping, 24/7.
What is it like???

Imagine being surrounded by a giant circular whiteboard reaching from the floor to twice your height. Just behind this is another whiteboard, followed by another, Ad infinitum. The boards can be reordered to bring any one to the front. And on them...
- Every TV show / movie I ever watched, and every book (which my brain turns into a movie as I read) is constantly playing.
- Every thought / idea / theory is displayed.
- Every song, with accompanying lyrics is there.
- All your memories.
And everything has cross references, and you have the ability to recall anything at anytime...
- Redoing a jigsaw puzzle can trigger memories from the last time you did it.
- Watching a movie while eating lunch? Next time you see it, you can remember that meal.
