I began editing Wikipedia in January 2006. I'm interested in lots of things, and came to Wikipedia as a longtime reader, but I now spend most of my Wikipedia time actively editing. I became an administrator in November 2007.

One of my favorite things to do is add or correct interwiki links. My accounts on other-language Wikipedias are mainly for adding these links, although occasionally I'll suggest a merge or make a comment, if I notice something odd. I do sometimes translate articles from these Wikipedias.

I also work frequently on missing encyclopedia articles lists, and regularly update the lists from the de, fr and es wikipedias. I also work on the dauntingly long music encyclopedia topics lists.

Besides that, I often add new articles that are interesting from books or articles I read. I'm especially interested in geography, history, music, languages, and peoples of the world. A particular interest of mine is the gamelan.
