I used to live in [[San Francisco]], hence '''SFDan'''. I currently live in [[Høje-Taastrup]], [[Denmark]], which is in the suburban [[Copenhagen]] area. I live with my man, Aksel. We are [[Gay marriage|registered partners]] under Danish law. I have been contributing to Wikipedia since August 15, 2002. [[User:Sfdan/More about|If you want to know more.]]

==What's new==
===December 7, 2006===
Got word the other day that [[Politiken]] newspaper's Jens Lenler had written an article "Verdens største leksikon- og største fejlrisiko?" (“World’s biggest encyclopedia– and biggest risk for error?”) in the Tuesday, Dec. 5, 2006 edition. Both myself and [[User talk:Valentinian|Valentinian]] were mentioned and cited in the article regarding a little Wikipedia encounter with the fictive Danish kommune Æblerød, a hoax which we uncovered and dealt with.

===October 14, 2006===
Almost a year has gone by since I have put in a daily entry. Haven't been Wiki'ing so much during this time. But I haven't been that far away. Last weekend was up in [[Stockholm]] to a sqaure dance, and stopped by the [[Swedish National Museum of Fine Arts]], where I saw a great exhibit of Nordic landscape art— [http://www.artsmia.org/mirror-of-nature/index.cfm A Mirror of Nature]— and another exhibition of the designs of [[Stig Lindberg]].

===December 2, 2005===
Haven't been Wiki'ing so much lately. Mostly caught up with a new work assignment doing [[Requirements Management|requirements management]]/[[systems analysis]] for a project to implement [[EMV|EMV standard]] [[chip card]] [[Terminal (telecommunication)|terminals]] in local branches, and take advantage of additional security from [[encryption]]. Going to [[Göteborg]] for the weekend to [[MWSD|square dance]] to Dave Wilson, Robert Milestad and Thomas Bernhed. Also a chance to see the [[Peder Severin Krøyer|P.S.]] and [[Marie Triepcke Krøyer Alfvén|Marie Krøyer]] exhibit at the [[Gothenburg Museum of Art|Göteborg Art Museum]].

Now I know Christmas is coming! They just played ''Søren Banjomus'' on the radio as the first Christmas song of the season (Ya' jus' gotta be Danish to appreciate that!).

===November 14, 2005===
Great concert during the weekend with [[Gitte Henning]] and [[Wencke Myhre]]. Unfortunately [[Siw Malmquist]] was sick. Good shopping on Saturday at [[Karstadt]]. Great [[cocktail]]s at the Tower Bar overlooking the [[Elbe|Elbe River]]. And now I'm back again. Finished reading [[The Templar Revelation]], so I'm back to finishing "''Kærligheds Barn''" by [[Maria Helleberg]], a novel about the life of Princess [[Louise Augusta of Denmark]]. Received a request to look at the article on [[Jean De la Vallée]].

===November 11, 2005===
Another weekend of travelling ahead. This time to [[Hamburg]], [[Germany]] to see a concert— "The Show" with [[Gitte Henning]], [[Wencke Myhre]] and [[Siw Malmquist]], some of the great divas of Northern European [[Schlager|schlager music]]. Well, what have I done in the wonderful world of Wiki? I organised the list of [[equestrian sculpture]]s by country, added European [[Art colony|art colonies]] to the list at that article, added some basic information requested (Birth and death years, external link, other information) on the [[Hugh J. Schonfield]] article, and been fighting juvenile vandalism on the [[Birkerød]] article. Otherwise I have been reading [[The Templar Revelation]].

===November 8, 2005===
Great long weekend in [[Stockholm]]. Went to the [[Swedish National Museum of Fine Arts]], where I saw a great exhibit of [[Dutch Golden Age]] paintings. I also went to the [[City Museum of Stockholm]] in the [[Södermalm]] district where I was living near [[Slussen]], just across from the old town of [[Gamla Stan]]. Good shopping as always as [[Nordiska Kompaniet]] and [[Åhléns]]. Then it was on to Skærholmen for a great square dance weekend with lots of good [[Challenge square dance|C1 dancing]].

===November 1, 2005===
[[:Category:Municipalities of Denmark|Danish municipalities]] project update: Am in phase 4 verification, running through from category list (one-by-one). Have reached and completed to [[Møn]]. Continue with [[Nakskov]].

Had another episode with alternative future naming of municipalities that will be merged with others and expanded as a result. This was the second episode with the same user, and it has forced me to bring the discussion to the attention of others at [[Talk:Municipalities of Denmark]] (in addition to trying to negotiate direct with the user). I have also found some alternative wording for common text in the various municipality articles, where instead of referring to them as "new municipalities", I refer to them as "enlarged municipalities". I have alse created a new talk notice template to put on the talk pages of municipalities that will be enlarged: '''<nowiki> {{enlargeddanishmunic}} </nowiki>'''. Hopefully these efforts will discourage alternative naming.

Otherwise I am off to [[Stockholm]] tomorrow for a long weekend, to [[Modern Western square dance|square dance]] at the [[Ericsson]] Jamboree with callers Vic Cedar, Todd Fellegy, Christer Bern, Jack Bergström, Roland Danielsson, and Michael Lindberg. Hopefully I can also get to the [[Swedish National Museum of Fine Arts]].

===October 28, 2005===
Going to [[Jutland]] for a couple of days, to visit the family on the old [[strawberry]] farm, and to attend a [[square dance]] in [[Aalborg]]. And I guess that's a fitting end to a week of Wiki'ing so much with the square dance articles:
* existing square dance articles: [[Modern Western square dance]] (new article name), [[Caller (dance)]], [[Square dance club]], and [[Call]]
* new split-off articles: [[Square dance program]] (including a pretty table which I am very proud of) and [[Square dance concept]]
* redlinked a new article which my MWSD edit war-buddy [[User:Cananian]] was so nice to start: [[Challenge square dance]]
* new section stubs that require work: [[Modern_Western_square_dance#Dancing_modern_Western_square_dance|Dancing modern Western square dance]] (dancing opportunities, training at dances, fly-ins, conventions, etc.) and [[Modern_Western_square_dance#History_of_modern_Western_square_dance|History of modern western square dance]]

===October 25, 2005===
Wrote a consolidated [[List of castles and palaces in Denmark]].

Been working on some articles about artists/architects with some relevance to Denmark in cooperation with [[User:Kresspahl|Kresspahl]]:
* [[Thomas Quellinus]]
* [[Joseph Christian Lillie]]
* [[Benedikt Dreyer]]
* [[Jacob van Utrecht]]

Also, been working on articles for some other Danish artists and architects, most notably: [[Nicolas-Henri Jardin]], [[Christian Frederik Hansen]], [[Nicolai Eigtved]], [[Kristian Zahrtmann]], [[Caspar Frederik Harsdorff]], [[Hieronimo Miani]], [[Hendrick Krock]], and [[Lauritz de Thurah]].

===October 17, 2005===
[[:Category:Municipalities of Denmark|Danish municipalities]] project update (at long last): Am in phase 4 verification, running through from category list (one-by-one). Have reached and completed to [[Lundtoft]]. Continue with [[Lyngby-Taarbæk]].

Been distracted with other articles such as a series of articles on [[:Category:Copenhagen city districts|Copenhagen city districts]], which still need to be expanded. Also some new articles on Danes in the art world ([[Kristian Zahrtmann]], [[Holger Roed]], [[Niels Lauritz Høyen]]), Danish architects ([[Christian Frederik Hansen]], [[Lauritz de Thurah]], [[Nicolai Eigtved]]) and some rewrites and just some plain writes on Danish palaces/castles ([[Christiansborg Castle]], [[Hirschholm Palace]]). In addition to all the other fun things I do here, and there, and everywhere else.

===September 27, 2005===
Test out [[Wikipedia:Tools/Navigation popups|Navigation popups]] by applying [[User:Sfdan/monobook.js]].

===September 26, 2005===
[[:Category:Municipalities of Denmark|Danish municipalities]] project update: Am in phase 4 verification, running through from category list (one-by-one). Have reached and completed to [[Glostrup]]. Continue with [[Gram municipality]].

===September 23, 2005===
[[:Category:Municipalities of Denmark|Danish municipalities]] project update: Am in phase 4 verification, running through from category list (one-by-one). Have reached and completed to [[Fredericia municipality]]. Continue with [[Frederiksberg]].

===September 18, 2005===
[[:Category:Municipalities of Denmark|Danish municipalities]] project update: Have now completed phase 3, as I have added the necessary information to the tough exceptions to the general rules: [[Bornholm]], [[Frederiksberg ]], and [[Copenhagen]] municipalities.

===September 15, 2005===
[[:Category:Municipalities of Denmark|Danish municipalities]] project update: Have now completed phase 2, as I have written all articles for [[:Category:Future municipalities of Denmark]]. Next come the tough exceptions to the general rules: [[Bornholm]], [[Frederiksberg ]], and [[Copenhagen]] municipalities.

On a personal note, I will be off to the doctor today as follow up on my surgery of Aug. 31 for a progress evalutation.

===September 10, 2005===
[[:Category:Municipalities of Denmark|Danish municipalities]] project update: Have now gone through the entire list of existing articles (first sweep)- Phase 1 completed. I have also written all the articles on the [[Category talk:Municipalities of Denmark]] page, so the list has been emptied. Phase 2- first part completed.

Have been contibuting to the improvement of the [[youth square dance]] article.

===September 6, 2005===
As for the large [[:Category:Municipalities of Denmark|Danish municipalities]] project: Reached as far as [[Vejle municipality|Vejle]] municipality (done!), and its future partners [[Børkop municipality|Børkop]], [[Egtved municipality|Egtved]], [[Give municipality|Give]] and [[Jelling municipality|Jelling]] municipalities.

===September 5, 2005===
Got back from the hospital Sept. 2, and convalescence is going well (well enough to be wikying). Haven't gotten back to the big Danish municipalities project yet, but focusing on smaller things instead, such as the [[square dance]] articles. Trying to achieve a concensus on naming and name variants in the [[Dosado]] article, as well as improving a few other new [[dance move]] articles: [[Right and Left Grand]] and [[Promenade (dance move)]]. These should also be categorized under [[:Category:Square dance]].

As for the large [[:Category:Municipalities of Denmark|Danish municipalities]] project: Reached as far as [[Vallø]] municipality, and its future partners whoever they might be.

===August 30, 2005===
The large [[:Category:Municipalities of Denmark|Danish municipalities]] project: Reached as far as [[Ulfborg-Vemb]] municipality, and its future partners whoever they might be.

===August 29, 2005===
As of August 31, 2005 I will be offline for a while as I will be undergoing a long awaited laser [[Transurethral resection of prostate|TURP]] operation. I should not be gone all that long, so don't make too much trouble for me while I am away.
