Quick info

Hi from EdJogg (aka Pete J).
I'm a software engineer from Guildford, UK, who spends most of his webtime at Wikipedia ('WP') -- same username, if you want to talk!
I have been active on WP since June 2006, so I have a reasonable grasp of page syntax, tables and simple templates, if you have a problem (although I'm no expert).
As of about May 2007, I was 'promoted' (?) to being an Administrator here at TSW - so beware! :o)
Memo to self...
Question asked at MediaWiki regarding SpecialEvents page and include tags... (10 Jan 2008)
It's {{From Wikipedia}} (capital 'F', capital 'W')!!
About me...
My (relevant) interests include British railways, particularly GWR and BR(W), although I don't really follow the current scene.
I am currently building a OO-gauge model railway ("for the children"!), although balancing play value with prototypical operation is proving challenging on a 6x4 baseboard! My own rolling stock covers the period from post-grouping GWR through to 1976 – so I can just about get away with running a proper-coloured HST alongside my diesel-hydraulics.
I am a member of the Slough & Windsor Railway Society, and the Swindon & Cricklade Railway, where 'our' engine Slough Estates Ltd, No. 3 currently provides the main steam traction. (A recent highlight for her was when City of Truro paid a visit to the railway, and No.3 was topping-and-tailing on the other end of the train. Like an Awdry story really, eh?)
In Wikipedia I contribute to all manner of articles relating to railways and steam engines, particularly traction engines, and I also created the Ilfracombe Branch Line article. Other contributions include 'real railway' input to the articles about The Railway Series of books by the Rev W Awdry and the spin-off TV Series, Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends.
