Hi! I became aquainted with Wikipedia in March (2006) and have been very active in developing the Esperanto Vikipedio giving particular attention to articles dealing with Canada and the Canadian Esperanto movement. English, however, is my mother tongue, and I am by profession someone who works with language (I have a Ph.D. in linguistics), so when I started seeing language errors in the Wikipedia articles I was adapting for the Vikipedio, it seemed appropriate to become a User and correct them. For more details, see my biography - note you'll need to learn Esperanto to do this! :-)
