Welcome toAetheling1125user page. I am now a rare veteran editor and live in theLiberty of Norton FolgateinMiddlesex.I have grown distinctly tired of the overbearing attitude of 'administrators' and various self-important yet anonymous people who carp and sneer and drive away everyone who is not part of their in-group. I have a strong interest indark-ageand early medieval British history as well asheraldry,vexillology,genealogy,royaltyand current affairs.
As I say with that little badge, I have been an editor of Wikipedia since 2005 when I was active in creating and developing many of the pages which now exist in quite different forms. Many things have changed for the better and worse over the past twenty years, the site is more reliable and better referenced, but regrettably Wikipedia has become increasingly under the control of a rather introspective clique of administrators. This has resulted in an ever smaller number of active editors and the emergence of unwelcome political bias on the site.
