[edit] About my Wiki activities

I formally registered as a Wikipedian in April 2006, but had used, enjoyed, admired and occasionally edited Wiki as an unregistered user for a year or two prior to that.

I have a wide range of interests, but my primary interest is probably history, and history articles are what I spend most of my time on. In between I try to squeeze in some other duties like a good little Wikipedian such as contributing to article AFD's, policy discussions and so on. These days I am also a regular contributor to DYK, both in terms of submitting articles and preparing updates.
