[edit] About splateagle
splateagle[1] is known offline as Patrick, he was born in 1977, is very fond of the colour yellow and currently sports a beard.
[edit] Location
Born and raised in South Yorkshire, Patrick moved to Aberdeen in 1996, to study. During the first four years living north of the border he developed a strong sense for and understanding of the differences in perspectives regarding nationality in different parts of the United Kingdom.
Issues of nationality and identity often cause feelings to run high, especially within the UK. In the objective opinion of this user, the starkly different English, Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish national identities which are encompassed under the umberella term "British" must be acknowledged in order to provide an accurate and encyclopaedic treatment of any subjects relating to those constituent nations.
Patrick has spent his adult life living in Scotland and identifies as adoptively Scottish, he currently lives in Edinburgh.
He also very much likes to travel, and clever little graphicky things make him smile so:
| Patrick lives in: |
 |
|
| Patrick has lived for periods measured in months or years in: |
    |
|
| Patrick has visited for periods measured in days or weeks: |
         |
|
| Patrick hopes to visit soon: |

[edit] Interests
Patrick's Interests include but aren't limited to (in no particular order) cars, technology, Scotland, history, architecture, literature, language, design, music, film, property development, transport, information management.
He has a fairly broad-ranging formal education and considers discussion and the pursuit of knowledge as leisure activities. When not being distracted by other more visceral drives, his brain is one of his favourite playthings.
Patrick has strong views on language, specifically concerning the importance of clarity of expression and a strong vocabulary. He is also prone to making typographic errors in his excitement over the actual content he types - something he's deeply embarrassed by and works to rectify.
- ^ At the last check "splateagle" found anywhere on the web refers to the same individual. Me. It would not usually be capitalised, unfortunately however I know of no way to make Wikipedia display a Page heading in all lowercase. It's a trivial detail but any help with this (if it's possible) would be very welcome
