My name is Simon Lyall. I started contributing to Wikipedia in July 2004.
For more information about me see my homepage. I don't believe in putting 50 boxes all over this page to show my languages spoken, favourite browsers and the like.
As of January 2010 I have made around 6,500 edits to wikipedia.
- My 1000th edit on 17 Oct 2005 was this one to the Wikipedia:About page.
- My 2000th edit on 15 March 2006 was this which added some content to the Deaths section of the 1982 in New Zealand article.
- My 3000th edit on 30 July 2006 appears to be this which removed some categories from Lanchester Valley Railway Path.
- My 4000th edit on 27 January 2007 appears to be this which fixed a link from the book Code Blue - Emergency to its author James White.

A quote edit
I used to be involved in Usenet a bit. Here is a quote that might be applicable to some who forget we're here to write an encyclopedia not debate their pet issues or form a social club.
"...it's about damn time that all of us who actually give a damn about Usenet stand up and tell the people who don't to fuck off and die." -- Russ Allbery
