Hi, I'm a long-time Wikipedian (started there in August, 2003), but I'm interested in the goals of Citizendium - especially the part about a reliable network encyclopaedia - so I'm going to try and do some stuff here, as time allows.

I actually wrote the very first Citizendium articlel, in October, 2006: Hokusai!

For more about me, look at my home page here:

My Wikipedia home page, here, gives an indication of the kind of things that I can write about.
