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.

I am not very active on the Norwegian Wikipedias (Bokmål and Nynorsk). So far my only real contribution there is the article Arkadia - reisen til jordas indre (which is mostly a translation of Spartakus and the Sun Beneath the Sea) and some images.

Most of my contributions are in areas of science fiction, fantasy 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.

Stuff I have created

Not counting redirects, images, talkpages etc.

By far the most of my edits are "janitorial" though, fixing broken links, sorting stubs and categories, the occasional wikifying of new articles, sorting and tagging images and things of that nature.

As of 22 March 2006 my edit count is over 10700, of which over 4300 are in the article space (mostly minor edits), and over 2500 in Image: space. Add to that over 3800 deleted edits (mostly tagging images as {{no source}} or {{no license}} if they are missing required info and such). You can get a detailed count, or check your own here.

Ongoing projects

Lately I've been working mostly on cleaning out Category:Free use images, there is a staggering amount of images in that category that either lack the source or the license information required to justify this label. A fair number are also plainly mislabeled as they include license info that prohobit commercial use and things like that. I'm also ocationaly tagging a few dozen untagged images over at Wikipedia:Untagged images or deleting orphanded fair use images, or unsourced and unlicensed images that have been tagged for more than 7 days and such.

I've also started Wikipedia:Image copyright issues for dummies as I was getting weary of writing the same lengty messages over and over trying to explain the basics of copyright to uploaders (things like "free for personal use" != "public domain" and what not). Haven't spent too much time polishing it yet though.
