bureaucrat, but there must be a better term for that. I was a member of the founding board of Wikimedia UK
.
I wrote articles mainly on architecture, politics and history, and just occasionally on popular culture, the natural world and all manner of other topics. I sometimes tinker with templates and get involved in WikiProjects.
... that in 1962, politicians Robin Bailie and Bob Cooper launched a journal entitled Review, even though they were only able to publish a single issue?
... that Butchers Wheel, a cutlery and tool factory in Sheffield, could only be accessed through a single, guarded door?
... that the
National Federation of Discharged and Demobilized Sailors and Soldiers, a forerunner of the Royal British Legion, was founded in opposition to the re-conscription of men injured during World War I
I, Evilclown93, award you this barnstar for writing

The Working Wikipedian's Barnstar
For categorization work on articles that fall within Category:Years in architecture, especially with articles which I create, consistently forgetting to add said categories. Keep up the good work, the community appreciates it. IvoShandor 08:10, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
Congratulations! Here's a medal for you in appreciation of your hardwork in creating, expanding (and nominating) 25+ articles for DYK. Keep up the good work - sorry it took a while. Well done again, WarofDreams! --Victuallers (talk) 17:28, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Quotes
"Finally, we'd like to announce a fun project loosely associated with Nupedia, Wikipedia. Have a look and write a paragraph or two!" Front page of Nupedia, January 2001
"If we create 1000 pages a month, we will be able to hit 100,000 pages in only 8 years."
February 2001
"Our getting 100,000 articles is definitely not out of the question. Indeed, it's also far from impossible that we could have 1,000,000 articles someday; there are, surely, 1,000,000 topics of discussion in existence." Why Wikipedia is so great, April 2001 [1]
"Wikipedia is growing at a dizzying rate. Wikipedia produces articles at over 1,300 per month." Why Wikipedia is so great, April 2001 [2]
