Who are you?
I'm a twentysomething male based in lovely Linlithgow, Scotland. (I'm not this guy.) I edit Wikipedia in my spare time.
What kind of work do you do?
I do a lot of copyediting, refactoring of established but low-quality articles to bring them up to Features Article status, and cleanup of short and stub articles.
I'm also experienced in working with templates, especially {{navbox}}, {{infobox}} and the {{mbox}} master templates, so feel free to contact me on my talk page if you'd like any help or advice.
Where are all your barnstars / article badges / userboxes?
If I've received one attached to a comment on my talk page it'll be in my talk archives, but I would rather not think of my purpose here as collecting trophies. You are not your barnstars.
