User:West London Dweller
Username says it all really. I live in West London and have a technical background.
My contributions are likely to be sporadic, and what I know tends to be broad rather than in-depth.
I'll be doing random minor edits for format, spelling, Wikification etc and adding the (very) occasional article.
Contributing as WLD since 24 August 2004.
Usually making minor, rather than major contributions due to work commitments.
National language variation
For the avoidance of doubt: my preferred variant of English is so-called British English. Any articles I originate should use British English spellings, unless this conflicts with Wikipedia guidelines or policy (e.g. the article is on an American, Australian, New Zealand, Indian, South African etc. topic). Wikipedia guidelines are here.

Proposal for multiple editing boards and subsequent discussion at the Village pump
Moved into the box room, here. When my square tuits are sufficiently worn, I'll revisit it.
