I've made some edits from the IPs:131.111.30.24 (talk · contribs · WHOIS), 131.111.30.22 (talk · contribs · WHOIS), 131.111.30.21 (talk · contribs · WHOIS), 131.111.30.20 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) and 86.7.19.159 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) but won't be making any substantial additions using these accounts. Before I knew about WP:V and WP:RS I made an edit from 86.135.212.191 (talk · contribs · WHOIS), which I think was my first ever edit.

One day I found out about WP:NEWT which seemed a good idea at the time. I made User:Organismluvva and created some stubs which were waiting in my to do list. I didn't think it would cause so many problems...

Areas I edit

[edit ]

Any plant related articles.
Any interesting species that I read about.
Designer drug related articles - mainly because people come here to find out information about them and our articles can be crap.
Pages where people may have a conflict of interest, often through posts at the relevant noticeboard.
Reviewing articles at the nominations for the "Did you know?" section of the main page.
And a fair bit of gnoming too.
I seem to have a problem where I use where instead of were in articles quite regularly! Thanks to those who fix my spelling crime.
