About me:
Mike Whitaker: UK-based Perl programmer, husband, father, guitarist, photographer, unpublished writer, and apparently now, published WikiNews reporter.

Useful contact info:
IRC: Penfold on #wikinews

Interests likely to provoke me to add news articles
Space travel, F1, cricket, classic rock, baseball

Why I'm here?:
Got into work on July 3 to news of Maria de Villota's crash in testing driving a Marussia F1 car: updated her Wikipedia page then found there was no Wikinews article! It's a little unsettling when you realise you're writing an article and praying you aren't documenting the first F1 death since Ayrton Senna.
