Revision as of 11:27, 1 December 2007

My name is Derek Harkness. I have a BSc. degree in Civil Engineering from the University of Glasgow. I graduated in 1997. I have worked in various fields such as military engineering, transport and computing. Presently, I am employed as the Head Master of, and teacher at, a private English School in China.

I am an amateur historian. I also have a keen interest in photography — for which I have received several awards. Currently, I am trying to learn to speak and write Chinese but it is not at all easy.

Pages that I have made live or made a significan contribution towards on Citzendium (in semi-random order):

Walter fitz Alan, 1st High Steward of Scotland
Alan fitz Walter, 2nd High Steward of Scotland
Champagne
Glasgow, Paisley and Johnstone Canal
Dunure Castle
Scottish people
Scotland
Hot dog
Sandwich
U.S. States and Territories
Subdivisions of the United Kingdom
Subdivisions of the People's Republic of China
Council areas of Scotland
Countries of the world
Regions of England
Cascading Style Sheets
Antarctica
Guilin
Macau
Hong Kong
Anshan
Liaoning
Wulanhaote
More to follow...

I also wrote some help pages such as:

CZ:How to use talk pages
CZ:How to make tables

Articles that I initiated or expanded from almost nothing on the old wikipedia.

Aberdeenshire Canal
Glasgow, Paisley and Johnstone Canal
Hugh Montgomerie, 12th Earl of Eglinton
Dunure Castle
Lochranza Castle
Portencross Castle
Alan fitz Walter, 2nd High Steward of Scotland
Walter Fitzalan
Wulanhaote

Articles that I have made major contributions to on the old wikipedia.

Anshan
Scotland 
Scottish people
Paisley
Paisley Abbey
Iona Abbey
Brodick Castle  

It is gratifying that other people have since expanded on these initial contributions. For details of other edits I have made, see my Contributions page.
