I've been so distractible lately that I suppose there's no use trying to say what I am or am not going to expand or write in the near future. Instead, here's a list of articles I have taken notes for and which I may or may not actively be working on: African palm weevil, Akwa I, Anglophones (Cameroon), Bell I, Bell III, Bell IV, David Mandessi Bell, Lobe Bell, Betote, Mbape Bwanga Bonaberi, coon song, Charley Deido, Ekwalla Epee Deido, Ned Deido, Sam Deido, Dika, Duck Amuck, Ebele, Ekwala, Gbaya, Jeki la Njambe, Kuo, Théodore Lobe Bell, Lock Priso, Malobe, Mami Wata, Alexandre Duala Manga Bell, Richard Din Manga Bell, minstrel show, Mpondo Dika, Ngie, palm wine, South Cameroon Plateau, and Union of the Peoples of Cameroon. I'll no doubt get distracted and go write something totally unrelated.

My name is Brian Smithson, and I am an English teacher working in Aizu-Wakamatsu, Fukushima Prefecture, Japan, as part of the JET Program. Prior to that, I was a graphic designer in Shreveport, Louisiana, in the United States. Before that, I served as an English teacher in Abong-Mbang, East Province, Cameroon, as a volunteer with Peace Corps from 2003 to 2005. I have been a Wikipedia contributor since 2003, and I became an administrator in November 2005. If you need any administrative help, please let me know on my talk page.

The following are articles I have written or significantly edited ( denotes a Featured Article):
