Introduction

• Hello and welcome to Jza84's user page.
• I live in Greater Manchester and my interests are geography, geneaology, politics and ethnic studies.
• I have been contributing to the English language Wikipedia since December 2005 (first as an anon, then under a different username).
• I mainly contributute to articles related to the WikiProjects I participate with, particularly (but by no means exclusive to) local and national geography.
• An advocate of consistency across articles, my personal aims include producing outstanding articles about places and things important to me and my life, and encourage a greater ethos of teamwork at Wikipedia.
• I'm not perfect.^[1]
• 25 December 2009 was my day.
• I took a break in 2011 and much of 2012. I returned to find Wikipedia and Wikipedians still struggle with WP:A!
• WP:SELFREF needs to be promoted much more thoroughly ("See below" and "See link X" are utterly useless if you print the article, or have it made in to a Wikibook, or read the article on certain electronic devices - so please help the project remove this!).
