User: R. fiend
From open-encyclopedia.com - the free encyclopedia.
Time to redo my user page...
They call me R. fiend. Mostly because that's the only name I give them. I don't do alot; work is for suckers. That's why I am able to spend so much time at wikipedia. I've had an obsession with reference books for much of my life, so a wikipedia obsession makes perfect sense.
For those who care, these are pages I started or wrote most of (now categorized):

- Michael Malloy
And my only article ever to appear on VfD
- Not the most useful article, but you can't make a redirect to 2 separate pages.
Look! My verbosity actually got me a barnstar!--->
shorter articles; some could be expanded
- Fianna Eireann
- River Kwai
- Clifford Irving

...a bunch of others too, I'm sure.
Other articles I've added alot to
- Easter Rising
- Irish Volunteers
- Irish Republican Brotherhood
- Patrick Pearse
- James Connolly (nationalist)
- Thomas the Rhymer
- Angelo Siciliano
- Roger Casement
The number of articles I've contributed to in more minor ways is too numerous to list.
I've also been attempting to make helpful redirect pages for articles that are otherwise somewhat difficult to find.
To do
- John Devoy
- Jeremiah O'Donovon Rossa
- The O'Rahilly
- I think these have been on this list since I first created this page.
Formerly to do, but others beat me to them (well done, guys)
- I still managed to add to these, and have quite a bit more to add to Hobson.
Oh, and if anyone can furnish photos for any article on this page that would be great.
