I seem to have burned out on Wikipedia. I said all I have to say long ago. Nowadays it's all about arguing with fanatics and dickheads over what to cut. So I decided to get my life back instead, cleared my Watchlist and faded away.

Sane Wikipedians are welcome to PM me. — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 19:40, 28 September 2024 (UTC)

Hi,

My name is Guy Inchbald.

I live in Worcestershire, England.

Potential conflicts of interest

[edit]

Per WP:EXPERT, I edit the following and related articles from time to time, as the only axe I have to grind is what I find in reliable sources. Nevertheless, I may be seen as having a COI in these matters.

These and other interests of mine may be dredged up at will from my website at https://www.steelpillow.com.

After around 10 years' study, I self-published a biography of Dunne. I have also published an edited edition of his book on dry fly fishing, Sunshine and the Dry Fly, and written an essay on his influence on C.S Lewis.

Aviation

[edit]

Besides Dunne's contribution to the field, I have self-published two short books on aviation, covering the de Havilland DH.88 Comet, the Levis-Belmont (aka James aka Leonie) monoplane, Essex Aero and the Hugo Wolf F/A-18C simulator. And the odd peer-reviewed article elsewhere.

IP aliases

[edit]

Sometimes I forget to log in. My IP address was once pretty static and nobody else seemed to use it so up until 3 May 2019 83.104.46.71 (talk · contribs) was in effect an accidental alias. On 3 May 2019 I changed my phone connection and ISP, and my IP address is now dynamic; typically it resolves to a mobile gateway a hundred miles or more away. Sorry about that, folks.
