My real name is not Barry and I am not a real gnome.
I started out learning to edit by adding complete cast lists of films from their end credits, then added the discography for John Martyn. The first page I created was List of real London pubs in literature, which I intend to continue building up.
My interests include film, music, history (particularly that of London), books and comedy. Sorry, that's a bit vague. I'll try to think of something more specific.
My intention when becoming a Wikipedia contributor was to write the article for the film Christie Malry's Own Double-Entry, which I have since done, and I followed it up with another adaptation of a novel by an experimental 60s/70s British writer, Killing Dad. So perhaps that is my speciality now?!
