Hi my name is BulldozerD11 and I can also be found on Commons. I started editing on May 2008 . My main interest is in articles relating to the Sheffield, Yorkshire, Derbyshire and I am an member of the Yorkshire wikiproject.

Interests

[edit]

I have a wide ranging interests, stemming from a fascination with how things work and why is that done like that. Started editing after kept finding mistakes or missing info. Interested in Sheffield Area related stuff, Engineering, Buildings and Structures, Bit of history etc.

Avid reader and collector of books, on Architecture, Building, History, Maps, construction Plant & Tractors.

Also working on Creating Tractor & Construction Plant Wiki

And plan to give some articles back to wikipedia, for missing items that are included in the Tractor Wiki scope. cheers - (BulldozerD11)

My Creations

[edit]

Sheffield Companies List Box

[edit]

Seen the Box for Structures and thought it was a good idea, so have created a trial version for Sheffield Companies (see /Sandbox, as coverage of older local companies is poor, have found a few related article that were a bit orphaned, but a lot need articles creating for them. comments on the classifications to group firms in welcome.

Cleaned up & Cut down version at User:BulldozerD11/Sandbox/3 for comment, pre release.

Construction Companies List Box

[edit]

List of the Top Construction firms and related industries, (derived from footsie 250 List) & Construction news Table published annually. See here : /Sandbox2

Yorkshire Powerstations Navbox

[edit]

Draft of a Yorkshire and Humber powerstations box is here ; Sandbox/4- Has now Gone Live.

Interest in these Wiki Projects

[edit]
  • {{WikiProject Sheffield}} - Tag any related articles with some edits if the Knowledge
  • {{WikiProject Companies}} - passing interest of firms from Local areas & Subjects of interest. Tag forproject major firms, add {{Infobox Company}} to minor companies.
  • {{WikiProject Derbyshire}} - Would Join but not editing a great HTML code page to do so !! (will tag articles of relevance). Joined after re-writing Members page in simple wiki code inplace of HTML.

Rant Bit

[edit]

Aim to fill in some of the gaps in info if the AfD Wiki (Zelots) of that (article)s not worth including (as its no interest to them) dont get there first and snuff articles out (forgetting the basic 5 rules bit), but keep whole sections that are only half a story, or pure corporate publicity rip offs, but are more interested in punctuation & grammar. (rant over). Dont Delete - It improve it, even if it just bringing it to the attention of others with the knowledge, time, or patience to sort it out. If Ive added it to a WikiProject thats why.

Wiki Looks Simple But

[edit]

It all looks so simple, Just Edit and add Bits, but then you find loads of rules:- codes to add, refs to sort out, Style, Projects, Links, etc. so if i get it wrong sorry but it was done with good faith and was trying to be BOLD. Just dont get worked up about my spelling, as its not my main concern, Knowledge and information more important to me.
