[edit] Nationality

British living in Indonesia.

[edit] Docent

I have a very good knowledge of Bali, some other areas of Indonesia (especially East Java) and many of the inner London districts.. I can act as a Wikitravel Docent for all those destinations. Please leave me any questions you have on my talk page or if necessary send me an email.

[edit] Bali became a project

It was only supposed to be a bit of tidying up...... A microcosm of my life really.

When Bali is done.... ~~perhaps~~ Java, region by region. That's a hell of a task. Let's see how it goes with East Java. Update: East Java has gone as far as I can take it - three or four articles short of guide region status. It is nonetheless now a very developed guide, certainly better than any other available for this region.

On December 30th 2009, Bali became Wikitravel's first ever star region guide.

[edit] Other projects

The London Collaboration of the month for December, prompted a huge amount of work, especially on the inner boroughs.

Working on as many region maps and the associated country regionalisation as I can find time for, as part of the Region maps expedition. This is my biggest commitment of time and energy to Wikitravel.

As well as maps for Africa, a lot of work on various African articles. There is a considerable amount to do to knock the continent into Wikitravel shape.

After Bali was finished, working on a number of other Indonesian sub-regions, including East Java, Lombok and Central Java.--Burmesedays 03:36, 12 April 2010 (EDT)

[edit] Articles taken to star status

With varying degrees of help, I must add.

On December 30th 2009, Bali became Wikitravel's first ever star region guide.
On January 26th 2010, Hampstead became Wikitravel's first British star guide.
On March 7th 2010, Nusa Lembongan became only Wikitravel's second non-developed world star guide using a city template.
On April 4th 2010, Ubud followed Nusa Lembongan and became Wikitravel's third non-developed world star guide using a city template.

[edit] Cleaning the family silver

Yes, I am an administrator here and do my best to keep things clean and tidy. If ever you feel I have acted incorrectly over the treatment of an edit, please let me know on my talk page.

[edit] Upcoming travel plans

Sadly none..... I am far too busy :(

[edit] Maps

I am slowly getting to grips with producing Wikitravel style maps and those below are my favourites. All of the maps I have drawn for Wikitravel are catalogued here.
