General
I studied history at University so I'm quite keen on looking at original sources.
I lived in Bromsgrove, Worcestershire. That doesn't make me partial but explains my interest in those pages. I've been working on the history sections and pages in that area.
Other projects
I've contributed to:
- Wikivoyage mostly from holiday trips.
My interest in history has led to an interest in Latin. I've made some contributions to
- Wiktionary:Special:Contributions/JimKillock
- Wikiversity:Latin
- Wikisource:la:Diversoria
- Wikibooks:Ólim
- Wikibooks:Jánua Linguárum Reseráta
Declaration of interests
I should declare a few interests.
I am Exec Director of the Open Rights Group and have a professional interest in IP reform, privacy and citizens' rights issues.
I am related to John Wilson (industrial chemist) whose page I've created and edited.
