Hi…

I’m Nev1. In general I’m a content adder, adding new information and sourcing information already present. This means that I’m not so hot on MOS – as many who’ve worked with me on an article could tell you – but I am, for the sake of others, trying to improve.

Although I've been involved in improving a lot of articles to both Good and Featured status, what I am most proud of is being a member of the Greater Manchester wikiproject. This is an incredibly active project with a number of strong editors working well together. Without the structure of this project and the teamwork and help from others I probably would not have been able to produce good articles. And so I mostly edit articles related to Greater Manchester, but I am looking to expand my involvement especially into the other wikiprojects I am involved in.

I was made an admin on 10th August 2008, and gave up the tools on 3rd January 2010.

Mea culpa

I have edited over 2,000 articles on Wikipedia, some are good, others Good, but I hope all have benefited from my efforts. Below are listed some of the articles I'm most proud to have been involved in creating, expanded, or generally improving. I have contributed Good articles to most of the WikiProjects I've been involved in, although most of the assessed articles I have been involved in are related to WP:GM. While I have included articles to which I have significantly contributed, there were invariably other editors without whose time and effort the articles would not have achieved recognition. I have also helped create or expand 31 articles for DYK?
