My username is Michig. I have been around for a few years now, and am an administrator on the English Wikipedia and a winner of the Erasmus Prize^*. We are still building an encyclopedia, therefore my primary activities are content creation and improvement, and the prevention of deletion potentially worthwhile content, although I'm happy to contribute to the not so good stuff being removed. My main areas of interest here are:

• Music:
  • Reggae
  • Alternative music
  • Punk rock
  • Hip hop
  • Calypso
  • Extreme metal
  • British dance bands
• Cinema:
  • Hong Kong cinema
  • Russian cinema
  • East European cinema
• Sport:
  • Speedway
  • Boxing
• Invertebrates
  • Insects
  • Spiders
  • Snails and slugs
• Local history (local to Leicester and Leicestershire)
• Anything else that grabs my interest at the time or that I find needing work

Feel free to request my input on any of these areas. I have good sources on many of these.
