I'm a new user of Wikipedia. I've just created an article for my favorite British author who lives in Thailand, the country I come from.

The day I started creating my first article was October 9, 2007.

My article is Colin Cotterill. Colin Cotterill is my favorite British writer who has his books published in New York and sold in many countries, such as, Australia, Canada, England, Italy, France, Germany, etc.

In the future, I'll try to get hold of information about well-known people who live in Thailand and put their information in Wikipedia. If anyone who accesses my user page and know about well-known people who live in Thailand and wants to let me know their information or would like to recommend me to put their information in Wikipedia, I would really appreciate.

''The following is only example of my article.''


[edit] Biography

Colin Cotterill was born in London and trained as a teacher and set off on a world tour that didn't ever come to an end. He worked as a Physical Education instructor in Israel, a primary school teacher in Australia, a counselor for educationally handicapped adults in the US, and a university lecturer in Japan. But the greater part of his latter years has been spent in Southeast Asia. Colin has taught and trained teachers in Thailand and on the Burmese border. He spent several years in Laos, initially with UNESCO and wrote and produced a forty-programme language teaching series; English By Accident, for Thai national television.

Ten years ago, Colin became involved in child protection in the region and set up an NGO in Phuket which he ran for the first two years. After two more years of study in child abuse issues, and one more stint in Phuket, he moved on to ECPAT, an international organization combating child prostitution and pornography. He established their training program for caregivers.

Colin is married and lives in Chiang Mai in the north of Thailand where he recently retired from lecturing on the MA programme at Chiang Mai University. He is currently writing a screenplay for a Thai movie to be produced early in 2008.
