Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity

Hi, I'm Martin. I'm 24, and live in Worcester, England. While I'm a sysop, I'm only making limited use of my sysop powers at the moment.

Meta essays/discussion that I approve of: bans, image pages. Please be bold in mercilessly editing my comments - they're GFDL'd for a reason, right? :)

Contact High

You can email me (mailto:wikipedia@myreddice.co.uk), or say hi here somehow. I try to be a 'real person' online nowadays, so here's my employer's address, for those who think that nothing beats a letter. There are prizes (£5 to your favourite charity) for anyone who sends something fun for me to open at work...

I do sometimes read the wikiEN-l mailing list via the web interface, but I generally don't post there. You can chat to me at some of my other "home pages", though - check above for links.
