Thanks to Duolingo, I can claim some Portuguese speaking skills as well. Welsh is a bit tougher but might be added to the table someday. |

I call unto the Wikimedia Foundation to flee from the United States as soon as possible.

I am Caesarion. |

I'm a Wiki(p/m)edian from the Netherlands. I was born in the mid-1980s and came here in late 2004. I have been working on and off on various projects. My main wiki, if any, is the Limburgish Wikipedia, which I picked up when it had only 9 articles. By training, I am a musicologist, but language is a major field of interest. There are many languages that I speak a little, though admittedly few I speak at expert level. Languages that I have learnt or worked with at some point but are not listed in the template include Arabic, Icelandic, Italian, Russian, Saterlandic Frisian, Welsh, and of course Latin. I am determined to become conversant in all of these some day, but I doubt whether I'll manage that during my lifetime. |

I'm here on meta just because I have a child-like adoration of languages and multilingualism. I used to frequent, almost inhabit, the [[Requests for new languages]] page. I am an [[Aspergian Wikipedians|Aspergerian]] and I am [[en:Netherlands|Dutch]]. These are my chief abberations. I am neither able nor willing to change any of them ;-). |
|||
I'm much involved in creating Wikipedias for lesser languages, especially the West Germanic ones. To see how bad it is, just take a look [[Test-wp:Seeltersk|here]], or [[Test-wp/gem-zws/|here]]. |

If you have some time to spare and are unexpectedly interested in me, you can read my user pages at several Wikipedias (the bold links contain some information; the other user pages are hardly worth reading/looking at): |

*[[af:Gebruiker:Blêrkas]] |

I call unto the Wikimedia Foundation to flee from the United States as soon as possible. The country is swiftly becoming an authoritarian dictatorship where telling the truth (which, as a rational person, I hold to be synonymous with science) makes you at best suspicious and at worst an enemy of the state. Major opposition lies ahead, and destruction by paramilitary forces like the Proud Boys is far from imaginary. A major brain drain to Canada is to be expected; maybe you should follow before it's too late.
