Welcome, I'm Matt! Feel free to drop me a message on my talk page!
I am a Londoner, and I've been casually editing Wikipedia since April 2017. My main specialism is articles on British elections and politicians. I'm liable to take long Wikibreaks every now and again!
Projects
editI have extensively edited the Merton election series, including creating articles for historic elections, adding historic results, and chronicling local political parties.
Some of my proudest work
edit- Stumbling on Rosa Smester Marrero's article as a draft AfC, I provided much of the referencing from a collection of obscure Spanish-language sources that were, to the best of my knowledge, yet to be synthesised.
- I wrote much of the history section for Mebyon Kernow, a Cornish nationalist political party.
- I overhauled the entry for Bill Boaks, an eccentric British political campaigner from the second half of the 20th century.
- Finally, I brought back to life the entry for Pauline Pearce, the 'Heroine of Hackney' from the 2011 riots, following her entry into British mainstream politics.
