This user is a Wikipedian in the United Kingdom. The motto of the WITUK is Honi Soit Qui Mal Y Pense, which translates to, "shame on him who thinks evil of it".

This motto reflects a key Wikipedian desire, and is a reference to the British 'Order of the Garter'.

Hello, my name is Chris. I have been contributing to Wikipedia since September 2004. I live in Hartlepool in the North-East of England and I work at Midway Studios - Newcastle. I am interested in just about everything and I like to learn new things everyday. I am particularly interested in World War II, military history, science fiction, geography, photography, technology and world affairs.

"This royal throne of kings, this scepter'd isle,
This earth of majesty, this seat of Mars,
This other Eden, demi-paradise,
This fortress built by Nature for herself
Against infection and the hand of war,
This happy breed of men, this little world,
This precious stone set in the silver sea,
Which serves it in the office of a wall,
Or as a moat defensive to a house,
Against the envy of less happier lands,
This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England"

-Richard II, by William Shakespeare
