General interest in history, biography, social studies (inc geography), social policy and British literature.

I find that using the Userplan is just too difficult. What comes up does not correspond to the instructions.

Workplan:

At the moment I am wanting to write about the history of the housing association movement, but I know very little about it, so am having to look for information.

I shall probably do more on English and Scottish writers, as topics occur to me.

Likewise British biography and British Quaker history.

In the course of writing about William Blake, I came across a topic whose neglect so far seems quite as surprising as Gandhi (this I attempted to remedy) - Michelangelo. I do not dare write anything on Michelangelo, apart from a definition

An aside

I have recently made several contributions on topics on which I have no particular expertise, but which I happen to know about. It seems to me that as long as I am cautious in making assertions, it is better for this information to appear. I hope that those more expert will expand these edits, but I doubt whether they can be contradicted. --Martin Wyatt 21:31, 9 March 2013 (UTC)
