Hey, welcome to my user page. Feel free to leave me a message over on my talk page.

I discovered in October 2019 that there's an inactive Wikipedia account with the name "Yorkshire Lad", with a space. That account has nothing to do with me! (It only has three non-userspace edits anyway, from 2006.) I'm also unrelated to Yorkshirelad6, whose existence I discovered in November 2020.

Other accounts: I once had an account many years ago that I've long since forgotten the password to, and this account was very briefly at "YorkshireGold" until I realised that was a violation of WP:USERNAME (Yorkshire Gold is a brand of tea).

Articles I've worked on

• 500 Queer Scientists (created article; appeared on DYK on 22 April 2020)

• Confluence (shopping mall) (added sources)
• Minister for the Union (mostly added sources)
• Pride in STEM (created article; appeared on DYK on 14 March 2020)

Milestones

Milestones for ${\displaystyle n\geq 3000}$ are the first time my edit counter reached ${\displaystyle n}$; milestones for ${\displaystyle n<3000}$ are the ${\displaystyle n}$th extant live edit as of 22 November 2020 (so it is possible my edit counter hit that number earlier, if some edits that were then live have since been deleted).

• 10th edit: fixing a mistargeted link in Norte Shopping, on 31 March 2018

Trivia

Useful wikitext that I always forget
