Introduction[edit]

Hi all, my name is Dan. I am a relative newcomer to the wonderfull world of Wikipedia. Having seen wikipedia on previous occasions I had not realised how the whole thing worked, However once I started to use it more often and I realised what this place is all about I was hooked.

Smooth running again.

I am a 28 year old, married, father of 3. I live in the beautiful county of Yorkshire, England. I work as a Facilities Manager for a very large multinational company, but the best part of my job is that i get lots and lots of time to read. As I am something of a bookworm this is great!

I have many literary intrests, namely the works of;

I find all the Harry Potter articles on wikipedia fascinating. There is so much information on here! its great. I recently finished my third re-reading of the series (my friends and wife tell me I need more of a life! lol). These articles are where I have been contributing most. Hopefully my contributions are helpful (and not too opinionated). You can also regularly catch me in AfD, sometimes in RfA and other Wiki places.

Nazca lines
The Nazca lines are a group of geoglyphs made in the soil of the Nazca Desert in southern Peru. They were created in two major phases – the Paracas phase (from 400  to 200 BC) and the Nazca phase (from 200 BC to 500 AD). The combined length of all the lines is more than 1,300 km (800 mi), and the group covers an area of about 50 km2 (19 sq mi). Most lines run straight across the landscape, but there are also figurative designs of animals and plants. Scholars differ in interpreting the purpose of the designs, but in general, they ascribe religious significance to them. The lines were designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1994. This is an aerial view of the geoglyph known as the "monkey", one of the most well-known in the Nazca lines.Photograph credit: Diego Delso
