The view from the [[Verne Citadel]] over [[Underhill, Dorset|Underhill]] on the [[Isle of Portland]].

The villages of [[Castletown, Dorset|Castletown]], [[Chiswell]] and [[Fortuneswell]] are in the foreground, with [[Portland Harbour]], [[Lyme Bay]], [[Chesil Beach]], [[Wyke Regis]] and some of the rest of [[Dorset]] in the distance.

My first major work, and a vast learning curve for me, with lots of help from [[User:Tutmosis|Tutmosis]]. It [[Wikipedia:Today's featured article/May 20, 2008|appeared on the main page]] on 20 May 2008.

* '''[[Isle of Portland]]'''

My second major work (when I finally got round to it), to help it become FA. I again learned a lot about [[Wikipedia:Featured article criteria|featured article criteria]].

I use Wikipedia to enhance my general knowledge of all things related to [[Physics]], [[Chemistry]], [[Geography]], [[Mathematics]] and the other [[science]]s, as I am studying these subjects at present. In addition I am interested in the [[History]] and Geography of the UK, and particularly Dorset.

{{User:Kevin baas/box template1

|captionbar=Lightblue.jpg

I mostly contribute towards geography articles on Dorset and some parts of the UK, and general corrections I may spot during my browsing. I have developed a taste for sticking to one article and improving it, so after getting the [[Weymouth]] article upto featured status I have similar aspirations for other settlements, perhaps the nearby [[Isle of Portland]], and then all sorts of places in Dorset.

This has been my first and so far only major work on Wikipedia, and was a vast learning curve for me, especially with lots of help from [[User:Tutmosis|Tutmosis]]. My [[User_talk:Rossenglish#Weymouth_article|talk page]] shows my contributions to this article.
