I started writing and editing in August 2005 in English Wikipedia, where I have a full-blown user page. Since working from that base, I have expanded, becoming a user in various areas in the system, including Commons, Wikispecies, and in other language Wikipedias (Italian, Spanish, Russian, Serbian, Filipino and possibly others). I don't write these other languages (although I know some words and terms in some, but browse articles in them using Google Translate. To see more about how I have become involved in the Wikipedia movement, see my English Wikipedia page.
