Hi, I joined you wikipedians in October 2003. I also have users on the Swedish Wikipedia, WikiBooks, WikiNews, and Wikimedia Commons.

I focus on contributing to the English edition of Wikipedia (community portal) rather than the Swedish edition (community portal), due to my perception of English (and certainly not Esperanto) as the online lingua franca, rather than spending time on improving Swedish language articles that are already here on the English edition.
Useful Wikipedia-related pages
editJust listing some helpful pages for Wikipedia that I've found here for my own sake. ;-)
- IP2Location -- 20 free IP lookups per day to find areas and ISP owners of addresses. Useful for Wikipedia vandal lookups.
