I joined Wikipedia in 2016, and am slowly trying to learn how it works. When I was a child, I loved browsing my parents' encyclopedia. I could spend hours randomly reading facts and looking at pictures. Nowadays, the dictionary is still one of my favourite books: I haven't yet thrown away the paper version.
I live in the Netherlands.
My interests
editReading, writing and words in general: I like languages, exploring their differences and similarities. I feel uncomfortable if I see spelling mistakes. I love reading books, mostly fiction, and can be found in the library on a weekly basis. Lately I've been exploring the YA section of my local library. But I love to read almost anything. I'm also into the more detailed word-related stuff: typography and lettering.
Conflict of interest declaration
editI work for IKEA. I want to contribute to updating/improving the IKEA-related pages. My focus will be on copy-editing, providing the latest data/figures and clarifying the corporate structure. I will not add or remove content myself but will propose changes via the Talk pages. I'm aware that there are guidelines about editing pages if there is a potential conflict of interest, so I would like to disclose here that any contributions made to IKEA-related pages are made on behalf of my employer and in consultation with them. I intend to follow all of Wikipedia's guidelines.
If you have questions or feedback, please leave a message on my talk page.
