Hi, I'm Alex.

I have been an avid reader of Wikipedia for decades and I have decided to put a little back into this great source of information, by helping to edit, mainly in English, but possibly in French as well.

Once I get the hang of how it works from the inside, I might publish a few articles of my own.

My main interests are sports (Rugby, skiing and Golf), cooking, and travelling. That may sound a little "standard", but I consider myself an epicurean and a European. European, because I was conceived in Portugal, born in the UK, went to school in the UK, France and Switzerland, lived and worked in the UK, France, Spain, Germany and Switzerland, and married a lovely French woman.

I am totally bilingual and bicultural English/French and am fluent in German and Spanish. I have a good understanding of Swiss German but don't dare try to speak it yet.

I hope to be able to contribute in my small way to Wikipedia.
