Hello and a warm welcome to all my fellow Wikipedians. How nice of you to drop in to see who I am!
Morning>
Wikipedia & me:
How I discovered Wikipedia, I do not remember. But from being a reader I slowly became a contributor. Although I don't work that much on Wikipedia I do see myself as a Wikipedian. I don't go searching on Wikipedia what I can edit next, I edit what I find and want to do. This means I add and mainly improve a lot of small things and only rarely I make large edits.
My work:
Articles I've started on Wikipedia:
- Fort Knox Bullion Depository
- Animals are Beautiful People
- Template:David Attenborough Television Series
- Template:Malta Islands
Images I made for Wikipedia:
- File:ZetelsTK2006-2.png Dutch lower house as from 2006
- File:Netherlands roundel.svg New image of the Netherlands Air Force Roundel
- File:League of Nations Anachronous Map.PNG Map on membership of the League of Nations
- File:United Nations Members.PNG United Nations membership map
