I am a native speaker of English, have a working knowledge of German (having spent a good part of my childhood in Nürnberg), and have studied Spanish and French at university. I'm a self-confessed Canadiophile.
I find Wikipedia addicting, and I love the fact that it's free, open-source and user-run. It has become a constant tool in my life, and I am always improving it as I explore. I constantly copy edit, creating redirects from misspellings I discover. I have a personal rule: If I come across a RedLink, I have to start the article off, even if just a stub.
