Hi!
I am a novice at Wikipedia, having started in August 2006. I also edit on the Esperanto Wikipedia (user page). I find that I take pleasure in watching how articles that I have launched or just touched evolve, grow or improve under the attention of other editors. I try to take note and improve my own participation.

[edit] My userboxen
Do I think anyone is interested in my userboxen? Not really! But I enjoy glancing at other's userboxes. I have had fun tinkering with mine in between serious edits. And perhaps they do lend some personality to my username. 
(In order to view Tigrinya characters (for instance, those in my ti userbox), you will need a Unicode Ge'ez font, such as GF Zemen Unicode or Abyssinica SIL Font.)
