The man behind the userboxes

As my name suggests, I'm Dutch. Specifically, I'm from Gouda, South Holland, a city of cheese, stroopwafels and grachten. I started editing on the English Wikipedia first to improve my English and later to sate my information addiction. My primary motivation now is to keep Wikipedia clean and reliable.

My contributions have often been focused on articles related to such topics as ancient history, linguistics (primarily names), the (historical) Netherlands, international relations and anything else I managed to find information on. More recently, I've been focusing more and more on combatting vandalism and tweaking articles to adhere to the Manual of Style (I wish the whole world would read MOS:BOLDAVOID).

I noticed I may get avid sometimes; if I do, please remind me of our (in my eyes) most important policy: assume good faith. It's all that keeps us fools together and it's doing a great job at that.
