Hi! My name is Johan Elisson. I am a Gothenburger working as an information architect at Aleido (formerly Semcon), a global product information consultancy. I got my job in part thanks to my long-time dedication to Wikipedia. I have studied engineering physics at BSc level and engineering mathematics and computational science at MSc level at Chalmers University of Technology. I started out as a technical communicator, a profession one of my favourite authors (Kurt Vonnegut) once described—also quite fitting for a Wikipedia editor—as {{quote|[...] trained to reveal almost nothing about themselves in their writing. This makes them freaks in the world of writers, since almost all of the other ink-stained wretches in that world reveal a lot about themselves to readers.}} I rarely write about subjects related to my work or education, my main interests on Wikipedia are history and sports, focusing on Swedish military history and Swedish football. I follow the football club IFK Göteborg, and since 2016 I work extra as a supporter liaison officer for the club. I have also been a board member of the official supporters' club Supporterklubben Änglarna, of which I am now part of the nominating committee. My first edits to Wikipedia were made in July 2004 and I became an administrator in October 2006. I once upon a time created the WikiProject on Football and the Football Portal. I have been mostly inactive here for some years with only a handful of edits per month or less, and I am no longer an administrator due to my inactivity. I semi-regularly check my watchlist and talk page though, and occasionally do major work on expanding/rewriting articles or creating new articles. I have a slight problem with recentism on Wikipedia and as such focus my efforts mainly on expanding or creating articles about not-so-recent, or timeless, stuff. Sure there are positive sides to recentism, but when e.g. 90 % of a club history section deals with the 10 most recent years, while the first 90 years of existence gets 10 % of the space ... Come on, expand at the early end of that section instead of adding some trivial fact about a match last week. In regard to writing outside Wikipedia and my job, I was blogging for the—at the time—largest (and best, according to an Aftonbladet award) Swedish sports blog for a number of years. I have subsequently co-authored the book Vi som är från Göteborg åker aldrig hem med sorg (published in 2014)—a fan culture history of IFK Göteborg—, and contributed text to the official 110th anniversary book IFK Göteborg 2004–2014. I am aware of WP:SELFCITE and avoid it whenever I can. I am dreaming of publishing a book about IFK Göteborg in European football, and a biography on Carl "Ceve" Linde. My [https://tools.wmflabs.org/xtools-ec/?user=Johan+Elisson&project=en.wikipedia.org current edit count] is not really interresting for anything but the adminship nomination process, and seeing I actually passed that one, the edit counts have no value at all. I feel I can make useful contributions to Wikipedia no matter if I have admin privilegies or not. I think of myself as a delusionist, but closer to being a deletionist than an inclusionist. |style="padding: 1em; vertical-align: top; width: 25%;"| ;Selected sports contributions: Related to IFK Göteborg:
