I live in a small seaside town in England which now has its very own article! I came to Wikipedia via a link on wilwheaton.net. My interests include embroidery, especially free style embroidery, and I'm learning stumpwork and Wessex stitchery. I'm interested in religion particularly in the Bahá'í Faith although I am not religious myself. I'm also interested in keeping fish. My aquarium seems to be going quite well and now contains six White Cloud Mountain Minnows, a young Ancistrus called Fred, six Ghost Shrimp, six Cherry Barbs, six tiny Pygmy Corydoras and four Platys. I have suffered from depression for the last three years. On WikipediaI joined Wikipedia in December 2002 and have been active almost daily since then. I have been an admin since March 2003 and a member of the mediation committee since it was created. I also answer email enquiries for the Wikimedia Foundation under my real name, Lisa Cushway. I'm currently a candidate in the upcoming Arbitration Committee elections. My usual activity on Wikipedia has been removing the links to disambiguation pages. I find this sort of tidying satisfying without being too much like hard work. I'm also involved in the dog breeds Wikiproject, mostly in adding tables and checking addtions to the list of dog breeds. So far I have a list of over 500 breeds of dog, many not yet listed. I have worked extensively on the Grammy Award pages and we now have full listings by year and award title. I'm in the 70s and falling on the List of Wikipedians by number of edits, I just don't do the volume of disambiguations I used to. Still, I have added some images I'm proud of... PhotosI'm very interested in contributing images to Wikipedia. I strongly believe that homegrown images are vastly better than "fair use" or "with permission" images. I would rather we had a moderately good image taken by a Wikipedian than a perfect image under a dubious "fair use" claim. My full view gallery is at User:Sannse/photos (full view). My Yellow-rattle and Large White caterpillar images have been made featured pictures. All my wildlife photos are identified using various books and web-sites. I've tried to be very careful, and have only uploaded images I am confident I have identified correctly (there are many others I have taken but am not sure enough about to upload). But I am an amateur and a beginner so please let me know if you feel I've made any identification mistakes. Images needing articlesMost of these have no home yet - if anyone can place them I will be most grateful
Beautiful User:PagesI'm looking for inspiration. Please let me know of any user pages of great style for this list.. Links to mediation pages:
