I am Caesarion. I am more or less active on several Wikipedias and some test-Wikipedias here. I am a sysop on the Dutch, Limburgic and West Frisian Wikipedias. Typically I am known under different aliases on various Wikipedias (see below).

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 Aspergerian and I am Dutch. These are my chief abberations. I am neither able nor willing to change either ;-).

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 here, or here.

If you have some time to spare and are unexpectedly interested in me, you can read my user pages at several wikis (warning: Not all user pages contain much valuable information).

Or otherwise take a look at my personal hobby horse: a List of languages most in need of a Wikipedia.

In ten years or less...

  • All languages with over half a million speakers will have their own wikis and possibly all with more than 100,000 speakers as well.
  • All languages in Europe, however small or endangered, will have their own Wikipedias, and most of them will be large enough to serve as real encyclopedias.
  • All of the wikis in the major languages of India will have reached the size of big (>100,000) Wikipedias.
  • The major African languages will, due to increased prosperity, finally have picked up their Wikipedias.
  • Native American emancipation will have caused the NA language Wikipedias to grow.
  • A few Indigenous Australian languages will also have their own Wikipedias.
  • There will be no official languages without Wikipedias.
  • The English Wikipedia, however, will be a highly unpleasant environment by then, and its success will have passed the top by long.
