If you receive an email purporting to be from me and offering to rewrite an article for you, presumably for money, it is NOT from me. Should I ever offer any help I will do so via your talk page and would never ask for money in return. Thank you.

About me[edit]

My username is Michig. I have been around for a few years now, and am an administrator on the English Wikipedia and a winner of the Erasmus Prize^*. We are still building an encyclopedia, therefore my primary activities are content creation and improvement, and the prevention of deletion potentially worthwhile content, although I'm happy to contribute to the not so good stuff being removed. My main areas of interest here are:

Music:
Cinema:
- Hong Kong cinema
- Russian cinema
- East European cinema
Sport:
- Speedway
- Boxing
Invertebrates
Local history (local to Leicester and Leicestershire)
Anything else that grabs my interest at the time or that I find needing work

Feel free to request my input on any of these areas. I have good sources on many of these.
