Hi, I'm Guy from Belgium and I'm new to Wikipedia. The idea of creating an encyclopedia with so many contributors with different interests and backgrounds is really fantastic and challenging. My personal interests go mainly to Australia, geography, travelling, Flanders/Belgium and Dutch (my mother tongue). So I guess you'll see me contributing mainly to these subjects and I'll probably write a few of my own too.

Some of my contributions include (N = new article/stub; E = edit):

In the pipeline:

  • Make the article layout about years (like 2000) identical. For example:
    • The subtitle order is not the same on every page. Sometimes the order is events - births - deaths, on other pages it's births - deaths - events.
    • The same goes for the subtitle choice. Sometimes only the three mentioned above are used, on other pages there's a whole range of subtitles.
    • Some specific events are included under events, on other pages they are listed under a specific event subtitle (such as sport, film, etc...), and sometimes it's a mix.
    • Sometimes dates of birth/death are included under events.
    • Must I continue? I think the article layout about dates (like January 1) is much better organised. This would be a good starting point.
  • Write short biographies about the Belgian kings: Leopold II, Albert I, Leopold III, Baudouin I, Albert II.
  • Edit the articles about the different continents: Africa, Antarctica, Asia, Australia, Europe, North America and South America.
