After spending far too much time poring through obscure NASA documents over the last few years in order to simulate the Apollo missions of the 60s, I thought that perhaps I should put some of it to good use by contributing to some Wikipedia pages.

I keep an eye on a couple of hundred pages that are often vandalised, and when bored I've also been adding wiki links and basic reformatting to various pages to get them off the [[SpecialWikipedia:Deadendpages | dead end pages]] list and bring them properly into Wikipedia.

In the 90s I was a fan of comics from [[Valkyrie Press]] and created a web site about them with some help from the founders of the company, who showed remarkably good taste in publishing two of the best British comics and no bad ones. That site is now long gone, so I'm transferring much of the information to the equivalent Wikipedia pages.
