IceDragon64

I am British. I speak English and a little French. I am over 40 and I have wide interests including all natural history, environment and other sciences. I use mainly Wikipedia as source material for my animations and quizzes on Newgrounds.com, where I use the same name: http://icedragon64.newgrounds.com/

I am in favour of writing articles, especially the LEAD PARAGRAPHS in more Layman's terms, making Wikipedia more accessible to The Many and I tend to reject what I see as the pomposity of modern Wikipedia, being so determined to be "respectable" that everyday folk are overwhelmed and give up reading such things as science and medical articles.

I am not very computer literate, so if you contact me, please don't use too much jargon.

Although I usually tinker with articles where I notice little errors and I help rewrite things, I also create articles:

• Doorstep Greens
• Hydrated Silica
• Best Word Book Ever
• Heterogenesis
• David Quayle
• Tied island
• The International Festival of Very Shorts

I tend to slap articles together to get them started hence I am a:

This user is a WikiDragon.
...one of the last of a dying breed...

.

But if you talk to me I will work with you to improve them.

Paradoxically, I can't resist improving spelling and punctuation as I read other people's work, I have hundreds of tiny adjustments to my name, so I am also a:

This editor is a WikiGnome.

.

I am a published writer, but I don't claim to be an expert at anything!

I am a Trustee of a Millennium Green and a mid-ranking member of Newgrounds.com
