User:Acabashi

I have been on Wikipedia since 2007, with most editing coming from the creation and major copy-edit of articles. Number of articles created may appear relatively small, but I like to add as much information to each as can possibly be found, rather than constructing ineffectual 'stubs' and meager 'starts' to the project just for the sake of personal box-ticking statistics. However, when I prefer some light relief, I do edit minor-ish stuff and patrol new and random pages.

Acabashi as a name has no meaning or relevance. I use only this ID on Wikipedia and its associated accounts, and on Flickr.

I live in London, with my immediate and historic family from God's Own County Yorkshire—particularly Hull—on all branches back into the 18th century.

My interests are 18th- and 19th-century Europe, theatre, art, architecture, education, cricket, dogs, and genealogy.

My work in the real world has included design for theatre and music performance; interior design/decoration; illustration; site design for outdoor events; and teacher of art from tertiary to post-graduate level.

My Wikimedia images on the Acabashi media page here, includes an offer to take photos for those who might find it useful. Please make requests on this Wikipedia user talk page. When I'm not over-active here on Pedia... I'm probably Media-ing, or working in the real world.

Tip of the moment...
Watching for changes

Clicking the "Recent changes" link in the interaction menu on every page will give you a list of all edits in the last few minutes. If you just want to watch for changes to articles you have edited, use your Watchlist. You can add articles to your Watchlist by clicking "Watch this page" tab (starred) at the top of any article (the talk page will be auto-watched, too). You can click "Related changes" in the toolbox menu on any page to see changes made to the pages linked from the one you are viewing. And finally, you can click the "My contributions" link to view a log of your edits; if yours is no longer the edit marked with "top", then someone else has edited the page.
