Draeco is taking a long wikibreak and will be back on Wikipedia when the furor of medical school has subsided. |

I was born in 1983 in rural Kentucky, USA. I recently graduated from the University of Kentucky with two degrees; a BA in Spanish and a BS in biology. I'm now involved in a five-year combined degree program, studying NGOs at the Patterson School of Diplomacy and medicine at the UK College of Medicine. I'm enthralled by the program to such an extent that I no longer have much time for Wikipedia.
[edit] Contributions
I joined Wikipedia with a starry-eyed zeal to pour my intellectual waters into some kind of creative commons and thus swell the collective pool of human knowledge. My philosophy is still in the process of coming back to reality, but meanwhile I remain impressed by the project's depth and relative reliability despite some issues. I contribute as randomly as the next guy, but my personal areas of expertise are language, botany, medicine, history, and diplomacy. My very first edit was by IP in Wisteria, and since then I've become attached to several articles that can be found at my desk.
I enjoy working in the welcoming and counter-vandalism committees. Though they are fun, languages stole my heart years ago. I translate many Spanish articles, and I work in the Spanish Wikipedia under the identical name of Draeco. I aspire to do the same for Arabic, plus many other future languages. Not only does this enrich Wikipedia, it's also great practice for a gringo like me. If you're a fellow linguist seeking thrills, lend a hand at Wikipedia:Translation into English or
