Introduction

Hi all, my name is Dan. I am a relative newcomer to the wonderfull world of Wikipedia. Having seen wikipedia on previous occasions I had not realised how the whole thing worked, However once I started to use it more often and I realised what this place is all about I was hooked.

Smooth running again.

I am a 28 year old, married, father of 3. I live in the beautiful county of Yorkshire, England. I work as a Facilities Manager for a very large multinational company, but the best part of my job is that i get lots and lots of time to read. As I am something of a bookworm this is great!

I have many literary intrests, namely the works of;

• J.K. Rowling
• JRR Tolkien
• Dan Brown
• David Eddings
• Tad Williams
• Raymond E Feist
• Robert Jordan
• Jeffrey Deaver
• James Patterson
• Patricia Cornwell
• Katharine Kerr
• and many many others

I find all the Harry Potter articles on wikipedia fascinating. There is so much information on here! its great. I recently finished my third re-reading of the series (my friends and wife tell me I need more of a life! lol). These articles are where I have been contributing most. Hopefully my contributions are helpful (and not too opinionated). You can also regularly catch me in AfD, sometimes in RfA and other Wiki places.

Picture of the day Viviparus georgianus, commonly known as the banded mystery snail, is a species of large freshwater snail in the family Viviparidae, the river snails. It is native to North America, generally found from the northeastern United States to Florida and the Gulf of Mexico, and thrives in eutrophic lentic environments such as lakes, ponds and some low-flow streams. The snail has has two distinct sexes and reproduces more than once in a lifetime, with females laying eggs singly in albumen-filled capsules. It feeds on diatom clusters found on silt and mud substrates, but it may also require the ingestion of some grit to be able to break down algae.
