I've been a Wiki Gnome since 2006, but I didn't get into larger-scale editing and article creation until I got some more time on my hands in 2021.

My topic interests are British films (with a focus on B-movies), vintage British TV, Japan, music, especially Steely Dan, and the history of computers.

My gnomic activities include improving citations, removing unsourced personal opinion, fixing typos, adding suitable images to articles lacking them, and generally improving article structure, readability and reliability. I enjoy attempting to de-stub articles per WP:ASSESS.

When it comes to the inscrutable notability question, I'm a cautious inclusivist.
