When I started on Wikipedia I tended to embellish existing articles or stubs which is still generally the case with little bits of knowledge that I have about the location concerned. I still welcome any ammendments by more experienced users regarding formatting and referencing. I have for some years been interested in Warwickshire's history and have collected a small number of books on the subject.
