Hello! I registered as a Wikipedian at the start of May, 2006.

I'm older than I should be, born inWindsor, Ontario,Canadasome decades ago. I have lived inHolland Landing(inYork Region,north of Toronto) since 1994.

I have a daughter who graduated with a Bachelors of Music (Classical vocal performance) fromMcGill UniversityinMontreal.She previously studied through theRoyal Conservatory of Music (Toronto)and performed inOpera Atelier's production ofMozart'sThe Magic Flutein November 2006, as one of a trio of spirits. Daddy's a wee bit proud, as you might have guessed. She taught English over inGimje,South Koreafor two years after earning her degree, and works atMedieval Timesin Toronto.

I spend a lot of my Wikipedia time on articles about places and things inYork Region, Ontariowatching out for vandals,disambiguating things,and adding bits where I can, particularly related to Education in Ontario. I started the articles for:

and have developed the articles forBigwin Island,Essex County, OntarioandYork Region.I try to make improvements wherever I can, including providing article assessments as well as geographic coordinates for Canadian articles.

I am proud to say that I have also had several users (or rather, mis-users) blocked from editing Wikipedia, after detecting their 'vandalistic' behaviour. (Count started Dec 3, 2019: 39)

Here's a little project of interest to me:/300games.Andanother.And anavbox.And anarticle being kept for the future.And agolf list.

That's enough for now, methinx..................PKT
