Hi, I'm Lear's Fool. I'm from Melbourne, Australia.

SEMI-RETIRED

This user is no longer very active on Wikipedia.

Userboxes The Basics This user comes from Melbourne. This user is a former administrator on the English Wikipedia. (verify)

I've been on Wikipedia since 2006, and I was mainly active between 2009 and 2013. I became an administrator in January 2011, but have resigned the tools. I am retired for most purposes, but I occasionally make minor contributions.

In the past I used the alternate accounts Lear's Fool (Sock) (talk · contribs) and Lear's Fool (Mobile) (talk · contribs), but I don't any more.
