I am not very active on the Norwegian Wikipedias ([[:no:Hovedside|Bokmål]] and [[:nn:Hovudside|Nynorsk]]). So far my only real contribution there is the article [[:no:Arkadia - reisen til jordas indre|Arkadia - reisen til jordas indre]] (which is mostly a translation of [[Spartakus and the Sun Beneath the Sea]]) and some images. |

As of [[3 January]] [[2006]] my edit count is over 5000, of which over 1900 are in the article space (mostly minor edits). You can get a detailed count, or check your own [http://tools.wikimedia.de/~kate/cgi-bin/count_edits?user=Sherool&dbname=enwiki here]. |

Nothing major. Lately I've mostly been sorting images (from {{[[Template:fair use|fair use]]}} to more specific tags like {{[[Template:albumcover|albumcover]]}} and such), and deleting images that fit the [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#Images/Media|criterea for speedy deletion]]. I might also do some stub sorting and other minor things in between when I get tired of images. Once in a while (rarely) I'll do something "crazy" like looking for new articles on [[Special:Recentchanges|recent changes]] and wikify/expand them, add categories and such (or delete them if it's unsalvagable junk or vandalism). |

Hi, I don't have a lot to say about myself, really. I was born in 1978, I'm from Sokndal, a small municipality in the county of Rogaland in Norway. Oh, and I'm male. I think people sometimes think my nickname is some mutation of "Cherol" or something and get the wrong idea... The name is just something the random name generator at the Discworld MUD spit out a number of years back, no special meaning I just kinda like the "sound" of it (although I'm not sure how one would pronounce it).
Most of my actual contributions are in areas of science fiction, fantasy (though most seems to have ended up deleted or redirected as "fancruft" by now) and things computer related, seeing as those are my main interests. I also find science and history interesting, but I'm more of a reader than a contributor in those areas.
By far the most of my edits are "janitorial" though, fixing broken links, sorting stubs and categories, the occasional wikifying of new articles. Lately I've been focusing mostly on image related things, tagging images that lack sources, confirmation of license from 3. parties non-compliance with the non-free content policy and stuff like that.
Ongoing projects
[edit]I often work on cleanup in various categories for images tagged as free licensed or public domain. There is a staggering amount of images in these categories that either lack the required source or the license information required to justify the license tag applied to them. A fair number are also plainly mislabeled as they include statements about commercial use not being allowed next to a license tag that says it is and such.
