My primary editing interests are military and military history related articles, in particular anything to do with current and historic British aviation and naval history. Although I do go around making subtle (and some times not so subtle) edits where I feel necessary.

Beware of those learned in the ways of Sock puppetry. Chronic Sockpuppeteers, such as Chanakyathegreat affectionately known as "The BANNED one", or, "the one who is not so great" are undoubtedly the most stubborn kind to run into!

Awards

	The Editor's Barnstar
	For this edit, which help to make my headache go away because I've been looking long and hard trying to figure out how to reformat/reword since day 1 of the messy text dump by an ignorant but helpful (good faith, nonetheless) newbie. Good job~! Dave ^{♠♣♥♦™№1185©♪♫®} 16:52, 27 August 2012 (UTC)

Picture of the day

George Roper was a four-masted iron barque that was built for service between England and Australia, launching from Liverpool in February 1883. On its maiden voyage, it carried 3,842 tons of cargo, including railway track for the Victorian Government, liquor, chemicals, drapery, and dynamite. It reached Australia in July, but got caught on the reef at Point Lonsdale while being towed into Port Melbourne. The ship sat there for nearly two months before breaking up and sinking on 26 August 1883. The wreck remains under 4–5 metres of water and is accessible to recreational divers. This photograph by the German-born photographer Fred Kruger shows George Roper's wreck at Point Lonsdale before it sank.Photograph credit: Fred Kruger; restored by Adam Cuerden
