[edit] Overview
I feel it only proper to do this in the style of a Wikipedia entry, so here goes!
Ben_davison, (born April 16, 1985), or, as he is more commonly known, Ben Davison, was born in Glasgow, Scotland. He has recently completed an HND in Social Sciences at Glasgow College of Nautical Studies.
His interest in Wikipedia stemmed from a desire to find out more about World War I, where his great-uncle was killed, and to remind himself of the Great Britons list. He joined Wikipedia on October 24, 2004, after spending valuable hours looking at the site over the previous few weeks and editing - in fact, virtually creating (anonymously until now) - the page on Alfredo Di Stefano. In fact, his main purpose on Wikipedia is to edit and create articles about football players. He also tends to frequent - through the Random page feature - tiny articles in the nooks and corners of Wikipedia. Roman conquest of Britain recently became the 1,500th page on his watchlist.
