I am Dan Koehl, a Swedish man, 🐘 elephant lover and trainer, php-programmer and website developer, living and working in Siem Reap, Cambodia.

During summer 2002, I started to contribute to wikis like Meatball and Nupedia, and made my first edit September 29, 2002, 5:32 pm, to a Wikimedia project as not registered user with ip: chello062178255091.7.12.vie.surfer.at on article :sv:Medeltid on the Swedish Wikipedia and 2,5 hours later an edit on :sv:Biologi as registered User:Koehl. (link to [http://web.archive.org/web/20021003153254/sv.wikipedia.com/wiki.cgi?NyligenSkrivnaSidor source with archived page] for http://sv.wikipedia.com)

The next day, 30 September 2002, I made my first edit on the English Wikipedia on my user page User:Koehl, and made my first article edit 11 October 2002 as User:Koehl on the article [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Proboscidea&oldid=423980 Proboscidea], which make me the 90th earliest user still 'active', and not the 106'th stated on this list..

During 2002, a Swedish Wiki community developed around a Swedish wiki, called Susning.nu, since the Swedish Wikipedia was more or less inactive. After an advertising banner was exposed on Susning.nu 21st November, I moved permanently to Wikipedia and brought a number of very active editors with me, in order to develop the svwiki. Susning.nu closed later, partly due to less traffic, after Swedish users started to use the Swedish Wikipedia more.

I also made [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Main_Page&diff=prev&oldid=438149 my first edit here] 21st November 2002 as User:Dan Koehl with [https://tools.wmflabs.org/xtools/pcount/index.php?name=Dan%20Koehl&lang=en&wiki=wikipedia Wikipedia id nr 5705].

My main interests has since then been biology, taxonomy and animal related articles such as Zoos, freshwater aquarium fish species, as well as genealogy and ancestry for Middle Ages biograpies of knights, kings, Nobility and other medieval people. I founded Wikipedia:WikiProject Genealogy [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:WikiProject_Genealogy&oldid=473472 9 December 2002‎], where I am now coordinator, and Im also coordinator for Wikiproject Zoo and try to maintain the Portal:Zoos and aquariums.

I have joined the Typo Team and I hunt typos with AWB, and adopted {{search link|Sweeden||ns0|ns14|ns100}}, {{search link|Scandanavia||ns0|ns14|ns100}}. I have also spent some time fighting vandalism with STiki and other anti-vandalism tools, and make reports to Administrator intervention against vandalism in case of persistent vandalism, Edit warring, and Requests for page protection. I also review new pages and tried to decrease New Pages Feed backlog and participated as AfC reviewer.

I also own and manage a couple of wikis and other websites on my own, already in 1995 I started my first website http://www.elephant.se which has developed into the worlds largest elephant database, which has been used also a source for scientific research.
