About Me

I'm a student (Physics, English and Music, lots of Music!) from West Yorkshire in the UK, who happens to absolutely love the whole Wikipedia 'ethic', as it were. I'm working to remove all the rubbish, i.e. adverts, spam, nonsense, etc., which prevent Wikipedia from being enjoyed by those looking for serious information. I also do some work on WP:WWF and when I have time contribute to the articles on Classical, Concert Band and Brass Band music, as well as the musical instruments themselves. These are all particlar interests of mine, but you'll also find me doing a bit on general cleanup and other, less musical stuff, like science. I also tend to be a bit picky about spelling and grammar, so I try to clean articles up for that as well.
