Cromag has been a contributor to Wikipedia since July-August 2005.

I live and study in Lublin, Poland. I'm not exactly fond of the city and look to move to another country – preferrably the USA, Australia or Great Britain – as soon as possible. In the past, I have visited or lived in a large number of countries, including the United Arab Emirates, Israel, Egypt, Slovakia and several others; since I enjoy traveling, I plan to add many more countries to this list. At some point in my life, I was able to communicate in English, Polish, Russian, French, Spanish and, to some extent, Hebrew and German, though I have largely neglected what years of studying these languages had given me. Several months ago, I resumed studying Spanish and French (with emphasis on the former) and, in addition, Latin. Most recently, I have begun studying Portuguese as well.

The articles I edit are quite often focused on music, be it hip-hop or country music, rock music or heavy metal (though I rarely listen to the latter). In addition, I write and edit many computer game articles, especially those related to adventure games; I've been a fan of the latter since the beginning of the 90s and therefore possess some degree of knowledge in that area.

My interests encompass topics connected with international culture, mythology (particularly Greek and Norse), music (currently with emphasis on country and folk), astronomy (on a very basic level) and history, especially that of medieval times and the World Wars. An English/American culture- and language-related national contest, which was held in 2005 and in which I placed fifteenth, convinced me that the history of the United States of America is at least as fascinating as that of various European states, so I turned to that for a while, with emphasis on the American Civil War, which I plan to research further when I find the time.

[edit] WikiProjects

As of 2007, I contribute primarily to three WikiProjects:

[edit] Notable contributions

Recently, I've been turning my attention toward articles concerning music, specifically albums. Consequently, most of the more important contributions I've made in the last few months are music-related. In this and other fields, I've managed to accomplish the following:

Created and expanded, along with Alcuin, articles for all the albums in the Johnny Cash discography and designed the discography page itself (no easy task, trust me);
Created album articles for all C. W. McCall releases;
Created album articles for the Waylon Jennings discography with Alcuin;
Created articles for all live-action video games released by American Laser Games;
Formatted, expanded and stylistically improved the article on Canibus (and added articles for pretty much all his albums), which had been a big mess; also added images;
Created a rather expansive article on Mixed-Up Mother Goose, experimenting with galleries in the process;
Created articles for the Kris Kristofferson discography, once again with Alcuin;
Designed the Johnny Cash template.
