User:Betty kerner

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

These days I am more concentrated on editing the Ukrainian wiki (there is a lot to work on there, whereas the English -language wiki has already tons of good articles & contributors), so you can find me there.

[edit] About me

• My real first name translates into English as "pearl". My last name derives from a Slavic name that means "given by God". I was born in the year when Iron Maiden's album "Number of the Beast" was released. I share the same birthday with Ian Anderson, musician, and Herbert Hoover, 31st President of the United States.

• I am a 'wiki-come-lately' and still have quite a lot to learn about editing pages and html. I edit mostly articles on cinema, actors, sportspeople, have created a few pages myself and often do "WikiGnome" work.

• My main interests are music: rock-n-roll, heavy metal, oldies, jazz, bluegrass, Italian music, piano, viola, opera; French, Italian, American and Soviet cinema; sports: soccer, tennis, bodybuilding; linguistics; geography; human rights; psychiatry.

• Favorite actors include Adriano Celentano, Pierre Richard, Brigitte Bardot, Johnny Depp, Keira Knightley, Charlize Theron.

• I am an historian-archeologist (oddly enough, so far I have barely edited articles on history).

• I am interested in Afrikaans, Polish and Latin languages. I consider Interlingua as the best and most perspective International Auxiliary language.

• Favorite singers include Bruce Dickinson, David Coverdale, James Hetfield, Paul McCartney, Adriano Celentano, Andrey Makarevich, Ruslana.

• I am extremely against wars, racism, xenophobia and other kinds of discrimination, and I am convinced that things like that should never be disregarded.

• Betty Kerner is the name is one of the characters of Le Jumeau, a French comedy released in 1984 (and its American remake "Two Much"). The article about it was started by me recently and is still to be expanded.

• Vegetarian since 1998.

• I also contribute to Ukrainian and Russian Wikipedias.
• I rate my English skills as "advanced", that is, I am fluent, but you can expect some errors and awkward wording from me. Please, be tolerant! :)
