I have been editing since 2005, though my early edits were few and far between.

My interests are generally centered around Military History and German/Swiss History, and I do a bit of translating from time to time.

Currently I'm trying to expand all of the 4000+ Communes of Switzerland articles to contain basic statistics and update the population numbers.

Some of the articles I've written or expanded are:

style="vertical-align: top; border-top: 1px solid gray; height:5em;"| This barnstar is to show you my gratitude for your relentless dedication in expanding countless Switzerland-related articles, many of which remained stubs for years previous to your edits. I was particularly impressed by your work on Monteceneri, an article about a municipality created barely 3 months ago. Cheers!
