Joakim Anders Olof Ekberg (born July 29, 1979), known here as Wikipedian Jao, that's me. I live in Skoghall on the island of Hammarö in Wermelandia, Sweden. Jao has been a nickname of mine for a while, and possibly comes from the initials of my given names.
On Wikipedia, I'm contributing in various areas, but mostly royalty, nobility, history, and political systems, with a preference for anything Swedish or Scandinavian. I'm also interested in discussing naming conventions on related topics – and, yeah, discussing mostly anything.
I can be contacted via ICQ: 8811451. But Wikipedia matters are better kept to the appropriate talk pages, or my user talk page.
Selection of articles
Of both the original articles I have created, and the ones I have considerably reformed and extended, there are some that could be better, and of course a great number that are only of marginal worth to the project. But then again, there are some to which I am very proud to be the main contributor, or one of the main contributors. Some of these are:
- 25 m Rapid Fire Pistol
- Bamse
- Battle of Stångebro
- Bernadotte af Wisborg
- Commander-in-Chief of the Swedish Armed Forces
- Dukes of Swedish Provinces
- Grand Duke of Finland
- Grand Duke of Luxembourg
- History of Greenland – my first featured article (lots of thanks to those who have helped me with it, especially Rmhermen)
- Ivan Lendl
- Linköping
- List of Swedish queens
- Monarch
- Nationalencyklopedin
- Naval officer ranks
- Personal union
- Ralf Schumann
- Shooting sports
- Swedish nobility
- Swedish Royal Family
Of course, none of these articles are finished, simply because they are Wikipedia articles, and Wikipedia articles never are finished. I will occasionally improve on them. Others will, too. Feel free to join in. Make me even prouder to be one of the authors.

Memos to self
Just some tasks I should do soon. If any of you wants to help, please do not hesitate.
- Make urgent NPOV additions to Swedish neutrality during World War II
- Expand Gustav V of Sweden
- Oh man, I should know something about Hammarö, so expand it
- Find a suitable location to move List of countries by date of nationhood and edit it accordingly (may require extensive research)
- Add more articles on ISSF shooting events
