Welcome to the page of Takver (tirin).

I am an active participant of Wikipedia:WikiProject Melbourne and many of my contributions have been geographical articles on Melbourne and surrounds. I participate in Wikipedia:Australian Wikipedians' notice board. I have been with Wikipedia since August 2004, although I made a few anonymous contributions before then. Currently working on Wikipedia:WikiProject Cycling and Wikipedia:WikiProject Melbourne/Institutions. I have contributed a large range of photos - see my photo gallery at User:Tirin/Photos, all released under GNU FDL. At the end of 2006 I had a good and long wikibreak.

Major Contributions are listed below:

For your many and varied efforts in creating and improving Australia-related articles, I take pleasure in awarding you the Working Man's Barnstar. Efforts like yours make this a better encyclopedia, frankly. Regards,Colonel Tom 10:55, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
