This is me

I've only been a Wikipedian a very short while (since October 13th, 2004), so I'm still getting the hang of this.

My intention for the time being, until I really get the hang of this, is to fill in the gaps on a lot of the pages to do with the geography of New Zealand's southern South Island, especially the province of Otago, which I call home.

I can't promise the articles will look particularly attractive - although at least they shouldn't be too badly written. Still, they should be better than the dead-end links and stubs that are there at the moment. Hopefully I'll eventually move up to working out how to add pictures and the like, but for now I'm working on the principle that any (correct) information is better than none.

My aim is to attempt to add (or add to) at least one article a day if I can, although that will depend to a large extent on my "real life".

Thanks to those who have welcomed me here - I hope to be of some use to Misplaced Pages!

Glad you decided to get a user name - makes things easier for everyone. I think New Zealand is pretty underredpresented here, so first-hand info about it will be great. But wherever and whenver you contribute, it's great to have you! Regards, Whosyourjudas (talk) 23:41, 13 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Milton et al

Welcome to WP, James. Good work on the Taieri River.

I thought your name was familiar, then I remembered a "James Duignan" in my past, before 1975, so - that wasn't you. Then I looked at your own site. Penny dropped when I saw your Milton page. I had profiled it as part of my work constructing categories for every city and district in New Zealand on Zeal:

There's plenty of "duty" that we Kiwis can offer you! An early duty could be to appear on Misplaced Pages:Wikipedians/New Zealand. Then enliven that Milton link, please! After that, Music of New Zealand will probably keep you busy...
