Hello, I am a Albanian Paediatrician, editing between bouts of getting hacked off with other Paediatricians. I do get on with almost everyone though, 'cos I'm nice like that.

I wrote 99% of Thin Lizzy, Danny Kirwan, the music-related bits of Jeremy Spencer and some other things, covering various topics. I often work on Formula One-related topics, originally driver articles, but also race and team articles. I mostly concentrate now on Formula One race reports and results, and articles concerning the mighty Os. Articles I started, and in most cases completely wrote myself are listed below.

I also occasionally delight in hustling persistent vandals and tedious, disruptive types into Wikiblock-oblivion.

A word of caution - if you are the kind of editor who might resort to comments such as this one I encountered:

"I hate stupid people who just edit my articles.

They denying my human rights."

then you are almost certainly not suited to editing Wikipedia. Equally, comments such as this one [1], or this one [2] display your ineptitude as a successful editor, or in these cases, a successful vandal. If you must vandalise, try something amusing as it is at least faintly entertaining. To me, anyway. It's also entertaining when you are blocked, which is the usual result. Being unpleasant [3], [4] is a good way to shorten your wiki career, as is threatening to kill me. All offenders will be prosecuted.

Anyone who's visiting this page with a view to telling me that British band names take a singular verb, don't. I'll just quote the Guardian MOS [5] and tell you to look under "band names". If that's not good enough for you, then that's very sad. Like one tedious editor in particular, you might then argue that newspapers deliberately perpetuate bad grammar, presumably either in an orchestrated attempt to strangle the language, or maybe just for the hell of it.

The Barnstar of Good Humor
I actually laughed out loud at when reading the last sentence of this. I only allow personal attacks on my talkpage if the user in question actually has a valid point to make; that was a nice response. The Blade of the Northern Lights (話して下さい) 04:17, 22 July 2011 (UTC)

For all your contributions to Fleetwood Mac related articles... especially for the work on the Danny Kirwan, Peter Green and Jeremy Spencer pages. Well done! Anger22 (Talk 2 22) 19:18, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

Your continuous updates of infoboxes on Formula 1 articles is so very much appreciated. In recognition of your excellent work, I award you this Special Barnstar. Well done, and keep up the good work! :-) Lradrama 08:41, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
The Barnstar of Diligence
You just beat me to correcting Kimi Raikkonen's results table! This typifies the effort you put in after each Grand Prix to ensure all of the articles are correct, and I think it deserves this barnstar. Enjoy! :) --Diniz (talk) 13:43, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
The Working Man's Barnstar
Though I was initially annoyed that you reverted some of my edits (lol), I realise that your work to F1 articles is incredible. You always seem to find little grammar errors which I don't see at first, remarkable really. Take this, I hope you'll keep contributing for a long time to come yet.

The Article Rescue Barnstar
I hereby award myself this barnstar for my tireless efforts blah blah. Actually, it's to say to anyone that if they see a motorsport article in danger of deletion, let me know and I'll do whatever I can to save it. Unless it's crap, in which case I won't bother :D Bretonbanquet (talk) 14:51, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
