I was born and grew up in England, then after travelling around a good bit ended up in Germany in 1992, and have lived there since. I used to translate for Wikipedia but have not done so since the system was "improved" so as to make it "more convenient" and "simpler" for technically minded people.
Photo licences
editAll the photos I have ever uploaded onto Wikipedia have either been my own or from legitimate historical sources. I uploaded them according to the rules of the time, using the appropriate tags and providing the information required. If some bureaucratic brainwave now means one of my photos needs a new tag, please either do it yourself or delete it.

I hereby declare that anyone who wants to can take any of my contributions to Wikipedia, publish them and make a mint. Disclaimer: I am only publishing on Wikipedia as no self-respecting publisher would ever accept any of my work. Thus I cannot guarantee that any of my contributions will ever help anyone make money. Also, you'll have to search through the page histories to make sure that every single letter was actually written by me and not someone else publishing under GFDL. Why don't you just write something original yourself and save time and effort?
