My preference is to add a number of lesser known historical figures that are worthy of inclusion. If they were also influential then all the better. I am also interested in adding to the encyclopedia musicians that are under represented particularly African-American musicians. Some of the articles I have left as start articles as I hope someone with more knowledge will improve the work. Other interests centre on European Art, particularly under represented art. I am an keen bird watcher and amateur lepidopterist. I'd also be happy to engage in a good debate because I do see entries that are open to different interpretations. I am an Irish and British citizen living in England.
