I could say where I'm from or what I do, but I don't like being classified based on that alone. It suffices to say that I am an educated human being that speaks the languages indicated in my Babel box. Mostly what I do on on Wikipedia is try to improve coverage on all things Belgium related, especially Brussels.

My favourite Wikipedia quote, from the article Drinking Games:

“

Participants who played funneling, chugging and power hour reported higher perceived intoxication levels compared to those who played jenga.[11]
