Why Shipsview? I have no idea! I think this Username was just allocated to me, and I quite like it
Who is Shipsview? A Scot with an interest in family history and Scottish history, and the people and places associated with that history.
Why Wikipedia? I gain much from Wikipedia, so feel it only fair I contribute something back.
How long? The widget thingy says that I have been a Wikipedia user for so many years, months and days - but it cannot count. I have been contributing since (almost) Wikipedia opened, 20+ years ago. That counter only records my entries as Shipsview. I note, with pleasure, how my early one paragraph/one sentence entries have grown through community involvement into extended and detailed articles.
