Please note: I am currently on a partial wikibreak. I am primarily focusing on reinstating the Fawlty Towers episode articles. While I will still respond to talk page messages (if any) and matters deemed urgent by yours truly, I will be doing very little editing outside of the prior mentioned edits.

Quick Facts Born, Nationality ...

Close

Hello, and welcome to my user page! My name is Mr Sitcom, and I first joined Wikipedia on 15 October 2023.

Before I chose this rather pretentious name, I was known as Lotsw73 (up until 8 June 2024), named after one of my favourite programmes, Last of the Summer Wine, which started in 1973.

Or, the ramblings of a Wikipedian...

I have always had a great admiration for Wikipedia. Whenever I search something on the Internet, a Wikipedia article is still the first thing I look for.

I first started editing Wikipedia under an assumed IP address on 20 September 2020, with this edit on the Hale House (Los Angeles, California) article. From that time until 3 June 2020, with this edit on Here Comes the Queen, I edited intermittently on various articles, mainly to do with sitcoms.

I didn't edit again until 29 August 2023, using another IP address. I continued to make edits in this manner until I decided to create my own account, a decision I am glad to have made.

I have so far enjoyed my time on Wikipedia, and I am glad that I have started editing again after my years in the wilderness.

Initially, I edited articles relating to classic British sitcoms, of which I have a keen interest. However, lately I have been branching out and editing numerous articles relating to both British and Australian television in general.

The topics that I most like to make edits to include:

film, television and radio (notably sitcoms)
actors and actresses
fictional characters

I am also interested in improving stub articles.

Goals

My current goal is to help repromote Dad's Army to good article status. I also intend to improve the coverage of Australian scriptwriters and Australian sitcoms on Wikipedia.
