User:David Edgar
I started contributing to Wikipedia in December 2003.
I'm British but I spent over a decade living in Belgium. I currently live in Manchester.
I've started many new pages and categories, some of which are listed here.
For the record, I am neither David Edgar, David Edgar, David Edgar nor David Edgar.
