Hi, I'm Lear's Fool. I'm from Melbourne, Australia.

I've been on Wikipedia since 2006, and I was mainly active between 2009 and 2013. I became an administrator in January 2011, but have resigned the tools. I am retired for most purposes, but I occasionally make minor contributions.

In the past I used the alternate accounts Lear's Fool (Sock) (talk · contribs) and Lear's Fool (Mobile) (talk · contribs), but I don't any more.

Some articles I've worked on

• Union Hall (Adelaide)
• Leonard Faulkner
• Andrew Killian
• Robert Spence (bishop)
• John O'Reily

• Philip Wilson (archbishop)
• James Gleeson (bishop)
