From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I'm Scottish, of Irish descent. My mum and dad are from County Donegal, Republic of Ireland.
Wikipedia has some notes on my name: Camillus
Date of birth: 6th March 1963.

I was born in Govan, brought up in Clydebank, and have lived in Glasgow since I was 19.

I have a BSc. in Chemical Engineering from University of Strathclyde.

I worked as a college lecturer for 11 years, teaching computing.

I then worked for two years in Guyana as a teacher trainer and resource developer, under the auspices of Voluntary Service Overseas.

Since then I have worked as a computer software writer.

I started by adding minor edits of articles on Celtic F.C., and ex-player Henrik Larrson, Rangers F.C., and ex-Ranger's player Ally McCoist.

Then on some political issues: Leon Trotsky, Joseph Stalin, Lenin's Testament, Nikita Khrushchev, Enver Hoxha, Bill Bland, Harpal Brar, Karl Kautsky, John Maclean MA, Social fascism.

I started articles for Andrei Bubnov, Ivar Smilga, Georgy Pyatakov and Nikolai Muralov, and footballers Sean Fallon, Bobby Lennox, Bertie Auld, Sandy McMahon, and Jimmy McMenemy.

I started the article on Irish-Scots.


This page comfortably survived a vote for deletion.

Also started National Unemployed Workers' Movement, Wal Hannington, and stubs for African-American athletes Cornelius Cooper Johnson, Dave Albritton (just because I saw they were red-links in the Jesse Owens article!).


Created a stub (just to remove a red-link) for Ramelton, a town in County Donegal.

Created some small articles to do with Guyana: Wai-Wai (people), Wapishana, Umana Yana, Bishops' High School, Guyana, Potaro River, Non-Aligned Foreign Ministers Conference, authors Fred D'Aguiar, Roy Heath, Wilson Harris, Pauline Melville, David Dabydeen.
Created articles for 14 Van Morrison, one Only Ones, three Linton Kwesi Johnson albums.
I'm responsible for 43 of the 6,869,963 articles on Wikipedia!

I seem to spend more and more time reverting vandalism to articles, as my watchlist grows!

I think Wikipedia is fab! It's democracy in action, it's a great community, it's great to see your contributions on screen, and it's good fun!

I've been contributing to Wikipedia since 11th November 2005. I changed my name for privacy reasons on Jan 13, 2006, So My Edit Count only shows edits since then.

Dusky seaside sparrow
The dusky seaside sparrow (Ammospiza maritima nigrescens) was a non-migratory subspecies of the seaside sparrow, found in Florida in the natural salt marshes of Merritt Island and along the St. Johns River. Discovered in 1872 by Charles Johnson Maynard, it was distinguished from other seaside sparrows by its dark coloration and distinct song. From the 1940s onwards, the dusky seaside sparrow population declined and eventually went extinct. This was the result of human activity in the area including pesticides and flooding applied to reduce mosquito populations, industrial expansion, and highway construction. The last definite known individual died on Discovery Island in Walt Disney World in 1987, and the species was declared extinct in 1990.Photograph credit: P. W.
