User:Greatgavini

(pronounced great gah-VEE-nee)

The Great Gavini is a sixteen-year old Wikipedian/hermit/poet/madman who dwells in a wee place called Northern Ireland. He started contributing to Wikipedia on 5 November, 2005. NOTE:DESPITE THIS PAGE BEING ALL FANCY AND COLOURED, THIS USER IS NOT AN ADMINISTRATOR. Me (probably) Greatgavini's sister is also a Wikipedian: he recommends you visit her psychedelic anarcho-dreamworld at User:Germs. Alternatively, you may be lost. If you were looking for the famed magician of a similar name, then go to Houdini. Also I'm making an Anglish-language user page which you can go to HERE. I'm also founder of the It's-is-not-a-genitive fan club. It is suspected that this user may be possessed by the ghost of Salvador Dalí. Please refer to the Great Wise Hedgehog of the Planet Wondermuffin for evidence. Up on a Soapbox Greatgavini tries his best to create new articles while correcting spelling errors and editing other articles, although his frugal diet of rice and water helps him reach his potential. At least, until the revolution comes. He mostly works in (but does not restrict himself to) the English, Spanish and German versions of the 'Pedia. ARGH!!! OOM PAUL!! Ek ken jou! Jy was in my droome... Paul Kruger on a white elephant with the old South African flag draped over it, beating me with a sjambok, shouting "STERF! STERF!"
