I started contributing to Wikipedia on 31 August 2005. Started my first new article, Emily Ruete 23 September 2005. Presently mostly occupied with the Middle East and Africa.
An Wikipedia ambition: to write articles on different producers/makers/designers of Scandinavian design... (Egersund Fayancefabrik, Porsgrunn Porselen, Figgjo, Stavangerflint, Tostrup, David-Andersen, Grete Prytz Kittelsen (Korsmo), Nora Gulbrandsen, Tone Vigeland, Plus, William Knutzen, etc, etc..) However, as Wikipedia is so tilted towards Western subjects anyway, it is not my first priority. But: if somebody want an article on any of the above subjects -or on any other Scandinavian Design issue- please leave a note on my talk-page.
Also; I have quite a few pictures taken during travels in Africa and the Middle-East, especially of places of historical interest (I never miss visiting a place which is on the Unesco World Heritage Site...if I´m in the vicinity). I hope to upload some of these pictures to the appropriate articles...eventually...
