Taejo is a Wikipedian. I am studying a BSc majoring in Computer Science and something else (probably Physics, Applied Maths, or Maths) student at the University of Cape Town.

If you are looking for someone to help you around Wikipedia, I'm happy to be that person, though I don't claim to be an expert. If you're really keen on writing and contributing to articles, but aren't confident of your grammar or punctuation, I'm here: I have the expertise and I want to help. But remember that Wikipedia encourages you to be bold: nothing has to be perfect right now.

For those of you who have looked up Taejo here on the English wikipedia: I'm not as vain as it might seem. That Taejo is 태조 (Taejo) [t^h] but my name is 대조 (technically Daejo in Revised Romanisation). It means contrast.

I speak English natively. I consider Esperanto and Afrikaans to be my second languages (I spoke Afrikaans daily at a young age, but I have since given up studying it and I no longer live in an Afrikaans speaking community; I have spoken Esperanto for two or three years). I studied Xhosa at the second language level, but am far less proficient in it than Afrikaans and Esperanto. I am interested in Korea and the Korean language, although I can't do much more than read and write Hangul.

I know QBasic, Spectrum Basic, Visual Basic, Java. I currently prefer Python, but I use C++ in contest programming (ACM ICPC, etc.

[edit] On Wikipedia

My first major article was Nongqawuse which I expanded and rewrote completely. I also added a photograph, which seems to be the only photo ever taken of Nongqawuse or at least the only surviving one (I have no proof, but I see that picture often and never any other).
