Hello, I'm Trappedinburnley. Of course I have a real name, which should we ever meet in person I'd be happy to share with you, but here I keep it to myself. If had spent any time thinking about it, I would have chosen differently, so at the start of 2018 I adopted TiB chat as my signature and I may change my username to TiB in the future.
I made my first edit on 10th May 2010 and created my first article the same day. Unsurprisingly given my choice of username I initially focused my editing on the Burnley article and although I've not done much with it since 2014, subjects with relevance to the local area remain my primary focus. My 1000th edit was to Hameldon Community College on 26th January 2011. I also made some small contributions to Malkin Tower, which made FA in October 2013 and was TFA on the Main Page that Halloween.
I edited my 1000th Wikipedia page on 12th November 2017. I did considerably more to Burnley Embankment shortly after it was created, unaware at the time that it was a DYK candidate. It proved unexpectedly popular when it went live on 3rd December 2019 with 29,761 views, becoming one of the all-time DYK page view leaders. And I didn't even get a credit. 
A biographical article about a new BBC Radio 1 DJ, I started with a few hours work on a 2018 bank holiday weekend, became the ninth most viewed article on (EN) Wikipedia on 16th October 2020, when a new series of I'm a Celebrity... started and over 250,000 people wondered who is Jordan North? The article scraped into the Top 25 for that week and peaked at just under 1.1 million views over 30 days!
