I'm Bruce from South Africa and I discovered Wikipedia after reading an article on Jimmy Wales in the March 2005 issue of Wired. My here (not counting a couple of Sandbox experiments) was on 14 March 2005 when I corrected a category in Henry Cow, and the was Avant-progressive rock on 13 April 2005. Since then I've clocked up over 20,000 edits, roughly 9,000 of them coming from stub sorting, an activity I'm not currently engaged in.
My main areas of activity here are music, primarily Rock in Opposition / avant-progressive rock, and literature, including science fiction and fantasy.
I occasionally do general article maintenance, including reverting vandalism, wikification, adding missing categories and (sometimes) stub sorting.
