I've recently become an active Wikipedia contributor (by my relatively lax standards). Most of my efforts have involved either natural history (especially mollusks), Florida, biographies of biologists, or early American biography, but I'm willing to branch out. I do a good deal of photography, as well as other sorts of graphic work, and upload some of this to WikiCommons. Even more recently, I've been playing at writing articles in simple English for that version of Wikipedia. It's harder to do than you would think. I'm also a nominal editor of frWikipedia (French), deWikpedia (German), and biWikipedia (Bislama). All of these accounts use the same "Tim Ross" user name. For some reason unknown to me, I especially object to the grammatically incorrect (or at least substandard) phrase is comprised of, and will go out of my way to correct such grammar.
