Iwas a student of Yale College Wrexham (note NOT THE UNI), and yes am responsible for the terrible page about it. I love wikipedia because it brings everybody together in pursuit of knowledge. I do a lot of good work (mostly small edits, but occasionally new pages such as Louie Knight) if you see anything good i've done please leave a message on my talk page.
I am studying Law at Aberystwyth University (Wales), so am interested in the law pages here (but not the overtly American law portal). I am interested in postgrad work after it (possibly a Batchelor of Common Law)
I'm on a wikibreak at the moment, so may be one or off wikipedia sporadically. A law degree is a lot of work so I cannot guarantee when I will be on or not. Be Bold and use your best judgement without me (but it's on your own head)
Is this user a Holmesian? Well his AS English language coursework was a Sherlock Holmes pastiche, and the commentary was 2218 words long!!!
Until I learn how to draw one myself (and, lets face it, find enough time) these are absolutely brilliant. Please check them out!

I am a fan of Jazz and particularly acid Jazz. I really like Courtney Pine, but in the more acid areas the inimitable Zero Seven (you've heard Jose Gonsalez all of you!)
, Sébastien Tellier (but can you find La Ritournelle for love or money? NO!) and some 'Little Fish' and 'Cloud' sounds good too. 'Two banks of Four' and 'Polar Bear' show promise as I love Chill EJazz - Rosie Kendrick rocks! I need to buy some Jazzanova - notably 'Secret Love 2' and whatever their latest one is. Helps to kno that Jazzanova now work for Sonar Kollectiv of course!
Lord Peter Wimsey may have believed that quoting others was a substitute for real thought, but we know thats wrong. Here are some of my favourite quotes - both wit and wisdom;

This essay would not (should not?) have passed at GCSE - Bill, my history teacher, a tab - but i still got an A at AS-level (I stress this is through extreme hard work and not because A-level is easy!!!)

"Circumstantial evidence is a very tricky thing, answered Holmes thoughtfully. It may seem to point very straight to one thing, but if you shift your own point of view a little, you may find it pointing in an equally uncompromising manner to something entirely different."

"I am an omnivorous reader with a strangely retentive memory for trifles." - explains me on wikipedia - 'The Adventure of The Lion's Mane'

Est omnino difficile iudicare inclusionis meritum cuiusdam rei in encyclopædia cum ratio sciendi quid populi referat incerta sit, sed nihilominus aliquid encyclopædiam dedecet
It is generally difficult to judge the worthiness of a particular topic for inclusion in an encyclopedia considering that there is no certain way to know what interests people, but some topics nevertheless are not fit for an encyclopedia.
This motto reflects the desire of these Wikipedians to be reluctant, but not entirely unwilling, to remove articles from Wikipedia.
