'Art is not a handicraft, it is the transmission of feeling.' - Leo Tolstoy

Active as a WikiGnome - proofreading/copy-editing with the WP:GOCE, involved in WP:AfD, active in New Pages Patrol. Also a WP:Teahouse host.

Interested in country articles (particularly pertaining to Central and Eastern Europe and Asia; I recently signed up for Wikiproject Latvia and WikiProject Russia, and have edited articles relating to Sweden, India and Sri Lanka), and biographies. Looking to get involved in fiction projects when such articles come up for review.
