Although it clashed with my university examinations (on multiple occasions), I still managed to create a good number of articles on Hindi Wikipedia.

Helsinki, Finland. Occupation Research scientist, project manager. Favourite Topics Geography. Reef aquariums. Why have you contributed to GibraltarpediA For team spirit. I had fun in Derby Challenge, and when this one started many of my wiki-friends contributed too. Many of our contributions are not visible in points, either because so many contributed, or because they are too short. But I wish some tourists will get surprised ! Why you like WIkipedia I think an encyclopedia is a great place to find information about a foreign place, and an online encyclopedia can beat printed ones by being updated about revolutions and energy sources rather quickly. My work makes me to travel to rather exotic places, and I have been proud to hear that both my co-workers and their parents have been reading the Finnish wiki-pages of these (many of them which are labelled "above average quality"). See fi:Kirja:Maailman_valtiot - featured in yellow, good in green, OK in blue. Not my work alone but together with friends.
