Hmm, this wiki medium can be contorted into a bastardized "a+rwx" (see UNIX) blog of sorts. I'm sure I'm not the first to grok the concept—and am likely the last, being as slow as I am.
Anyway, I've been contributing of late mostly to the Irish-language Wikipedia (http://ga.wikipedia.org/Ceannleathanach), in my own nearly unintelligible version of the Irish language. Have a gander at my user page (in Irish) () if you want to take a look (I've put in about five or six articles, a couple of 'em stubs but also a couple of decent length).
My other area of contribution has been an even meagerer handful of gibberish on the Vietnamese-language Wikipedia (). Unfortunately, Vietnamese is still well beyond my ability to use in a meaningful fashion, so my contributions there are, uh, "succint" (how's that for a euphemism! ha!) and ungrammatical.
If anyone else is trying to raise their children bilingually, especially in Vietnamese or Irish, please drop me a tag.

My habit is to contribute articles haphazardly on fairly esoteric (and occasionally mundane) topics as I stumble across them.
It is a goal of mine to translate wikis that are only in the Japanese language to English, as I am literate in Japanese. As I also travel to Vietnam, my contributions include places and concepts I encountered there. Further areas of interest are Fairfax County and Fairfax County Public Schools (especially the high school I attended, Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology) and other familiar places within the Baltimore-Washington metropolitan area.
A non-comprehensive list of contributions includes:
- Dong Nai province
- Bailey's Crossroads, Virginia (the historical blurb)
- Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology
- Chiben Gakuen (智辯学園)
- James Anthony Bailey
- Hapa
