Hi everybody! 

I've been a Wikipedia editor since 2004... but I still don't know what to do with my userpage so I thought I'd just put in a little about my handle.

As some people who read this may already know, [[Lochaber]] is a district in [[Scotland]]. I'm not actually Scottish (I am in fact [[Ireland|Irish]] national) and when I came across this word many years ago I thought it was some kind of description. Basically there was reference in a [[David Eddings]] novel to a [[Lochaber Axe|Lochaber axe]], I thought it was a nice sounding word and started using it as a handle on some [[Bulletin board system|BBS]]'s, games and the like. As I mentioned, this was a long time ago and I was living in [[Singapore]] at the time, I never come across the district. Of course years later with the advent of the [[internet]] and [[search engines]], information was now at my fingertips and I was very surprised to discover the true meaning of [[Lochaber]]. But what the hey, I've been using the name for years and I still think it's a nice sounding word!

{{wstress3d|1|150px|It's cool, don't worry about it...}}
By this I mean to [[Wikipedia]]... as opposed to human [[society]]... ;-)

While I've made lots of edits here and there, the only things that I would say I've contributed significantly to are:

*[[Vincent D'Onofrio]]
*[[Stuart Townsend]]
*[[IMDb]] - history only!
*[[Manny Coto]] - [[Copyvio]] fixing
*[[United World College of South East Asia]]
*''[[Series 7: The Contenders]]'' - created this one.
*''[[Chicago Hope]]'' - still working on this one
*[[Template:EU-stub|Template]] and [[:Category:European Union stubs|Category]] for [[European Union]] operations stubs.
Other pages that, in my opinion, I have made reasonably significant contributions to are:

*[[Mandy Patinkin]] - mostly bio info
*[[Socrates programme]]
*[[Erasmus programme]]
*[[Daihatsu Sirion]]
*[[Pimp My Ride]] - list of cars featured on the show
*[[Cillian Murphy]]
*[[Colin Farrell]] - under an anon IP

For a more comprehensive list see [[Special:Contributions/Lochaber|here.]]

Some of those are still a bit stubby but at least they’re better. I suppose Cillian Murphy and Colin Farrell haven’t been around that long so there’s just not that much to say about them... Unless you want to include Colin’s [[junk food news|tabloid]] activity of course!

I hope to expand a few stubs like [[The Gaiety School of Acting]] and [[Islam in Ireland]] but I'm afraid that these might take more time than I have. Until then I'll keep making expansions like those above and try v. hard to stay away from [[Wikipedia:Votes for Deletion|VfD]]!... it's such a downer...

I unfortunately went back to the [[Wikipedia:Votes for Deletion|VfD]] and have become mired in the debates... hopefully I'll get back to actually writing articles soon....
