I've found Wikipedia to be a handy reference on more than just a few occasions and quite enjoy the collaborative nature of the beast. It's great fun to be able to chip in and to learn and share things along the way.

I've spent my wiki-time working away at a number of different things:

* I thought it might be fun to put together a t-shirt showing the logos of a number of the world's [[intelligence agencies]]. I found that clean images for the purpose were kind of hard to come by, so I prepared a number of .jpgs from scratch based on what I could track down and attached them to articles here (and learned about .png's along the way). I also had a turn at updating some of those  articles, but soon discovered that useful information on spy agencies is often frustratingly difficult to find. Funny that. The spy shirt turned out nice, though.

* Given that Canada [[Image:Flag_of_Canada.svg|24px]] doesn't have anything the passes for a decent football (soccer here in North America) team, I'm lucky enough to be able to comfortably root for Germany [[Image:Flag_of_Germany.svg|24px]] where my father is from. Following the German national team led me to update the article on the [[Bundesliga (football)|Bundesliga]] and then turn my attention to creating or updating articles on [[:Category:Football clubs in Germany|German football clubs]]/[[:de:Wikipedia:Positivlisten/Fußballvereine_in_Deutschland|de:]]. I've also prepared and added a number of graphic elements to the [[Template_talk:Football_kit|football kit]] used to display team colors in the context of these articles, as well as to upload [[:Category:German_football_logos|team logos]] where they are messy or missing (which has been an especially interesting and enjoyable aside - over 460 logos in the category now, including a number of historicals and variants).

* A big thank you to all the folks who hang out at http://www.wappencommunity.de/. They are logo (de:Wappen) enthusiasts and many run their own websites. They're all generous guys happy to share what they have collected and have been invaluble in providing logos to accompany articles, or historical materials to help re-create long lost logos. They also put up with my rudimentary German. Pixel at http://www.wappensalon.de has been good enough to let me lend a hand with some English translations at his site.

* The number of articles about German sides is steadily growing. There are items for each team in the top three divisions in the country and it looks right now like the most obvious gap is in articles about fourth and fifth division teams. I've been chipping away at some of that, as have a number of other folks. Good work people.

* A tip of the hat to John Dwyer and his site [http://www.abseits-soccer.com/ The Abseits Guide to German Soccer] which has provided a great starting point for many of the club profiles I've worked on, and also to the folks that run the German football archive at [http://f-archiv.de www.f-archiv.de].

*<s>A further nod to Klaus Hirschfeld and his site [http://www.fussballzahlensalat.de Hirschi's Fussballseiten] where you'll find lots of information about very early German football. (Rats. Hirschi appears to have disappeared.)</s> Hirschi's back at http://www.fussball-historie.de/. Hooray!

*The site [http://www.eufo.de/ eufo] provides background info including rosters, a timeline sketch of a club's history, and other basics for German clubs of 4th division (Oberliga) and higher (and provides similar material for the rest of Europe).

* Anybody have any info on the [[Founding Clubs of the DFB]]? I've made some good progress and have plucked most (but not all) of what's available from the corresponding German language entry, but would like to reduce as far as possible the number of red links in the article. I've got 77 of 87 covered so far (as of late December 2007). Thanks to the following folks:

:*[[User:Panthdaman|Pantha]] for a recent tip on material on [[Frankfurter FC Germania 1894]].

:*Wow! A user going by WML and editing from Dortmund/Ruhrgebiet in Germany is generously helping out with information from the local library there with sources that include the <u>''1904-05 DFB Yearbook''</u>, Hardy Grüne's <u>''Vereinslexikon''</u>, various team and league histories, and other resources I haven't got a cold hope of laying my hands on here in Canada. These contributions will make a huge difference. This person seriously rocks! Prima!

:Any further leads for developing new articles or improving existing ones would be appreciated.

* I'm from the [[Toronto|Toronto area]] in [[Canada]] [[Image:Flag_of_Canada.svg|25px]] and have made contributions to articles about some of the places I'm familiar with in the neighbourhood including [[Brampton%2C_Ontario|Brampton]], [[Palgrave%2C_Ontario|Palgrave]] and [[Peterborough%2C_Ontario|Peterborough]].

* I also enjoy being able to roam around here at [[Special:Random|random]] and add to whatever piques my interest, which explains showing up in weird places sometimes.
