Welcome
[edit]Welcome to my user page. Please excuse the mess and vomit for now; I will be improving the layout of my userpage one day when I have time, maybe in a few years.
I am a South African and live just outside of Cape Town.
My focus is principally on South African articles, a very under-represented part of Wikipedia. Although my focus is occasionally diverted to video-game related articles, most of my time is spent on tasks related to WikiProject South Africa.
Feel at liberty to drop a line on my discussion page or edit the "to do" list below if you have any particular requests.
WikiProject South Africa
