As my user boxes indicate, I am a Wikipedian from Northern Ireland. I am also unionist in terms of political ideology regarding my country. I have no connections with any political or religious organisations whatsoever and, contrary to personal attacks here, I am not a loyalist.

I come down on no particular side with respect to the British monarchy: while I believe it to be outmoded in the 21st century, I respect the history and tradition of it.

I created two WikiProjects, WikiProject Northern Ireland and WikiProject Belfast, both of which could do with your help.

TO DO:

Watchlist: 19^th of December 00:13
Northern Ireland WikiProject tagging: Category:Geography of Northern Ireland/Category:Counties of Northern Ireland/Category:County Armagh (to start)

• Create a Red Hand of Ulster article, to include the origin of the mythical story, the symbol's present-day official use and its present-day misuse.

• There is no reference in the article British Iron Age to the people that lived there at that time: the Pretani.
  
• Add to Alternative words for British
  
• Correction in Briton
  
• Finish Beatles red links
  
• Create a list of people from Northern Ireland similar to this.
  
• Add article British slang, as London slang is specific and doesn't encompass British slang.
• Template for the Monarchs of Ireland (see William III of England, Scotland and Ireland for examples of a template for Scotland and for England)
