I'm a computer science student from the Netherlands.

My contributions to Wikipedia, which form a welcome distraction from work:

• Sport. I've restructured the lists of sports on this site (though the introduction is still not to my liking), and have added to several pages of individual sports, such as biathlon and speed skating. I've also worked on the Olympic Games page, though there's a lot of work left there. I also write small biographies of athletes, such as Paavo Nurmi or Georg Hackl.
• I often add to topics about or related to the Netherlands, my home country.
• I like to start small articles about geographical topics, usually cities or regions. They're usually not much more than a starter, but it's better than merely "X is a (city/region/rivier) in country Y".

I usually prefer to split articles that get lenghty into sections and subsections. Although this may make it not as good prose to read, I often find it much easier to find certain information, and that's what an encyclopedia is about IMO.

A template for editing country pages has been worked out and can be seen at WikiProject Countries. I'm trying to apply this template to the country pages around here. Currently, the following articles have the template on them:

• Liechtenstein
• Netherlands
• Netherlands Antilles
• United States

The following countries is being worked on (not only by me):

• Belgium (see Belgium/Temp)
• China (see China/Temp)
• Germany (see Germany/Temp)
• Sweden (see Sweden/Temp)
• France (see France/Temp)

The following countries will be worked on soon, but some format has to be worked out first given the naming issue surrounding "China":

• Taiwan

I plan to work on the following countries in the near future:

• Aruba
• Indonesia
• Luxembourg
• Suriname

I've recently started tidying up the Olympic medal lists in Wikipedia. Concurrently, I've started to add biographies of Olympic medalists (well, champions really). My first target is to include all Olympic Champions in the 100 m for men:

• Done: Tom Burke, Harold Abrahams, Jesse Owens, Armin Hary, Valeri Borzov, Allan Wells, Carl Lewis, Linford Christie, Donovan Bailey, Maurice Greene
• To do: Frank Jarvis, Archie Hahn, Reggie Walker, Ralph Craig, Charlie Paddock, Percy Williams, Eddie Tolan, Harrison Dillard, Lindy Remigino, Bobby Joe Morrow, Bob Hayes, Jim Hines, Hasely Crawford
• Non-champions (perhaps): Ben Johnson, Tinus Osendarp, Ralph Metcalfe, Frankie Fredericks
