Jerome West

I am a web and multimedia designer/developer living in Douglasdale, Johannesburg, South Africa for the last few years after moving up from the south coast of KwaZulu-Natal. I started e-science, in September 2006 after working as a freelance designer/developer.

I discovered wikis when a client asked me for one for their website. The client gave me wikipedia.org as an example when I returned a blank look. The following week wikipedia won a Webby award so I had to go look for myself. Since May 2004 I have become addicted to wikipedia and my wife is now threatening to put wikipedia up with the BIG no-nos in marriage (affairs, porn and wikipedia).

I started editing on 19 May 2004 and passed the 8000 edit mark. (see: wiki count or Tool2) My Wikipedoholic rating is 45 97 121

My contributions so far have been centered around my love for Africa. I have compiled this list (most of them stubs) below so that I can find articles that I am still working on quickly.
