I'm one of the many million people editing here, and I want Wikipedia to be as complete, accurate, and trustworthy as possible. I hope many more will join the project, become Wikipedians, and have fun contributing.

I started editing here in November 2004, and I became an administrator in April 2005. I live in Oslo, Norway and have a Master's degree in theoretical physics. I am not as active on Wikipedia as I used to be, but I drop by now and then tow make occasional edits.

Rant
I detest many of the dominating boxes and tags being placed in various articles for self centered reasons and wrote a rant about it (The examples are now out of date in many respects).

I wish we could keep articles as clean as possible, follow the style manual, and stop starting articles with big distracting boxes with either trivial information or messages meant for editors.

Barnstars
Wikipedians don't get money for their work, but sometimes they get a Barnstar. I've received 5 myself. Thanks!

Travels
I like traveling. Here are the countries I've lived in or visited so far.
