Jellyman is the name I go by around here, but you can also call me Andy if you like. I am a 32 year old Scot, originally from Glasgow, but I moved to Derby in England almost three years ago. When not busy with my little monster (she'll be two in April) or editing Wikipedia, I can be found slaving away in the Post Office.

[edit] On Wikipedia

I support Dundee United F.C. and much of my editing has been on articles relating to them and other football-related topics. I've also been working on a few articles relating to my adopted home town of Derby. My first edit was to Alex Smith (footballer) on November 10, 2005.

Articles which I've started include Ivan Golac; David Narey; Seth Johnson; Jeff Kenna; Paul Ritchie; Paul Hegarty; Derby Arboretum; Nithsdale Wanderers F.C.; Burghead Thistle F.C.; Willie MacFadyen; Peartree railway station; Jim McIntyre; Barry Robson; Glasgow Garden Festival; Jerren Nixon; Busby, East Renfrewshire; Rose Hill, Derby; Shawfield Stadium; Music in a Doll's House; McLennan; 1871-72 in Scottish football; 1872-73 in Scottish football; Waterfoot, East Renfrewshire; 1873-74 in Scottish football; Jamie McCunnie; Flag of Derbyshire; 1874-75 in Scottish football and Renton F.C..

[edit] Current projects

• My campaign to add infoboxes to articles on footballers has been progressingly slowly but surely, and I'm glad to report that this is a feature that seems to be taking off throughout Wikipedia football articles. Almost certainly inspired by me, I should think.

• I've done some organisational work on articles related to railways in Scotland, primarily sorting the categories for stations, as quite a few hadn't been categorised by council area or were listed in the wrong category. Not being doing anything more with this recently, though.

• My latest wheeze is expanding the Seasons in Scottish football back beyond the start of the Scottish League in 1890 to the dawn of organised football in the 1870s, and to add more information to articles throughout history. See 1966-67 in Scottish football, which I've been working on extensively, for an idea of what I'm aiming for.
