DE Commons JA Meta Test

I discovered Wikipedia on October 17, 2003, 11:26.

If you're wondering about my choice of user name, well, I just picked a somewhat random one to do an edit, since I was sure that I would not really come back to Wikipedia. After all, a encyclopedia edited by everyone is a project destined to fail, right? That was more than 10,000 edits ago.

I lived in Australia, America, Europe and Asia for longer periods of time. English is not my first language, although I think i speak it pretty well. Nevertheless I focus on adding content researched from the WWW and other sources rather than editing the language of articles. Recently I have started to keep an eye on Wikipedia:Requested pictures and look for public domain sources to fulfill requests. I am also an administrator on the Commons.

I became an Administrator on May 8, 2004, with 16 votes for, 0 against, and 1 neutral. Thank you to everybody who voted for me, and to RickK for nominating me.

Status

While I am still checking Wikipedia almost daily, I am currently too busy to do much editing. Sorry!
