About WikiWriter

This User is a Wiki-Inclusionist and a Wiki-Eventualist. This User suspects that Users who edit articles without adding to them are likely to disincline the creators from further contributions. This User would rather leave clumsily written articles alone than patronise their creator by improving them.

My Contributions

As a Wikipedian my main interests are creating pages relating to the Cairngorms, and the structures and features or pre-Roman Britain, and playing in my sandbox.

I have created, or contributed to articles related to the Cairngorms incuding : Places ... on Mar Lodge Estate, Allanaquoich, Beinn a Bhuird, Inverey, Robert Scott (Deer Stalker)

I've contributed some of my own photographs to the Commons sister project.

I have also used my MediaWiki knowledge professionally by creating Wiki-content for a number of global companies, including Quative, BUPA, and Sophos based on the markup samples.

Photograph of the month

This month's photograph is the ruin of Geldie Lodge on Mar Lodge Estate, in western Aberdeenshire. Geldie Lodge was one of the 'three main' hunting lodges built on the estate in the mid-to-late nineteenth-century during the rise of deer shooting.

The photograph was taken on the 09th September 2008 looking northward towards the Cairngorms.
