Welcome to my user page.
My name is Jf81. Actually I am in fact User:CastleCapt, but I have forgotten the password to that account so now I am using this new one. I'm clearly growing old by forgetting this stuff! I mostly edit geographic articles here, especially those considering ancient Middlesex (North and West London). Certain London district articles, particularly those in North West, have been lacking for years and I have tried to change that - I am glad the article of my birth town Hayes has always been a good example of a well written, detailed and structured article - I'm trying to do the same for other districts. I want to especially document how developments of the late 19th century and early 20th have changed the environment of the region, as I believe a fair amount of people have no idea that this region was a series of quiet backwaters as recent as a century ago.
My contributions
- Making articles look better visually (including uploading images on Commons and using them here)
- Presenting key information in leads (as I've done for example on Hanwell, Wembley)
- Updating where necessary
- (where notable) documenting old churches and pubs, especially those listed by English Heritage
- Diversity and influence of reggae culture in Harlesden
- (under previous article) creation of A312 road
- Major cleanup of non-HE colleges in the UK - these articles have been severely lacking in common structure and history as opposed to universities and high schools. I have added much information regarding the foundation of colleges.
