Just to create the page! Male, too old, should have grown up gracefully but hasn't. Originally from the Flintshire region of Llamedos and functionally illiterate in several languages, including Welsh. (You know you're multi-lingual when you can pull off typos and spelling errors in more than one language).

Hmm. A Challenge.

just noticed the article count stands at 3,910. Another ninety articles will therefore get it up to 4,000. I have the Diaries and Yearbooks now, or most of them. And then there are quite a few redlinks to kill. Research beckons. Ninety new pages. Hmm. This may be doable.

Did it! After an estimated 84 new articles and ten day's effort - seven or eight articles of the necessary 90 came from other people and just to be sure I went up to 4,001 - on Saturday 30th July 2016 with Dwarf Chocolate. As Old Dickens said, not the most palatable of topics, but there it was in the The Compleat Discworld Atlas as a previously overlooked snippet... chocolate looking and sounding suspiciously like Toblerone which is hard and unyielding enough to be used as a weapon of war and which, as a bonus, carries an advisory warning of May Contain Nuts. (Almonds... possibly the sort that interest the Assassins?)

Can we make it 5,000 any time soon? Lots of scope with 1100 empty pages! (of which maybe 500 are feasible? After eliminating duplicates, extremely slight subject topics where you'd struggle to add three or four words, all those links to the German wiki, and the downright strange) and there are lots of odd corners in the published books which need to be explored.

A noble gift
