Hi. I'm a recent contributor to Wikipedia, my participation here began in April 2004. My major interests are Canada, Canadians and the history of Canada, especially Canadian military history. I'd like to see my birth country's military history as comprehensively documented, organized and well-linked on Wikipedia as the US and British military history series of articles.
If you're curious, please see my personal website (http://www.deepsky.com/~madmagic) at DeepSky (http://www.deepsky.com) which includes some personal and professional writing, much of it published under a Creative Commons (http://creativecommons.org/) license. And please feel free to send a message or an email (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Special:Emailuser&target=Madmagic), anytime. Cheers!

Ram-Man -- well, one of his bots -- told me I'm in the top 2000 Wikipedians by edits. I feel good. :) Checking the CSV, it appears I'm currently 1444. So, I've decided to follow his suggestion and example, and multi-licence my contributions to the Wikipedia. See the license I've chosen above, at the top of this page.
