I'm Bruce from Johannesburg, South Africa. I discovered Wikipedia after reading an article on Jimmy Wales in the March 2005 issue of Wired magazine, and my first edit here was on 14 March 2005 when I gingerly corrected a category in Henry Cow. Since then I've clocked up over 15,000 edits, many of them coming from stub sorting, an activity I'm not currently engaged in.
My main areas of activity here are music, primarily Rock in Opposition / avant-progressive rock, and literature, including science fiction and fantasy.
I occasionally do general article maintenance, including reverting vandalism, wikification, adding missing categories and (sometimes) stub sorting.
