David Edgar

I Rarelibra award you this Barnstar for you work with cleaning and organizing the List of castles pages - Rarelibra 16:04, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

I started contributing to Wikipedia in December 2003.

I'm British but I spent over a decade living in Belgium. I currently live in Manchester.

I've started many new pages and categories, some of which are listed here.

For the record, I am neither David Edgar, David Edgar, David Edgar nor David Edgar.
