Kjet, alias Kalle Id, alias me, alias that guy who reverted your edit, alias that guy who can't write "its" correctly half of the time. I'm a native of Helsinki, Finland and as of February 2009 I study history at the Helsinki University, with maritime history and asia-pacific studies as minor subjects. Apart from Wikipedia my interests include ships, public transport, architecture and music. I'm also an amateur photographer, musician and comics artist. In the past I've also dabbled with acting (both stage and film) as well as graphic design.

About me

Wikibiography

edit

To quite another wikipedian: "Why contribute to Wikipedia? Because it's there" (if this was from your userpage, drop me a note and I'll properly credit you). In ansver a related question I've been asked, "why contribute to the english-language wikipedia [even though you're Finnish]?", I have to say that it's a matter of finding information. When looking for information on various things on the internet, I've repeatedly been foiled by the language barrier; the information exists, but in a language I can understand. If I write an article in the Finnish wikipedia, about 5 million people can read it. If I write an article here, 1.8 billion people can read it—as can most of the people who would have read the article from the Finnish wikipedia.

My very first edit to Wikipedia was the article on Hill (constructor), created in 2005 under a different username. I returned to Wikipedia in June 2006, under this username (having forgotten the password of the original), to contribute to GTS Finnjet, and subsequently found out this place allowed me to combine two of my greatest passions: learning about things and sharing that information, without having to go through the process of creating a website of my own (which I had in fact done in the past). So the list of articles I had contributed to—mostly about ships—grew and grew some more. At some point I joined WikiProject Ships. By May 2008 There was a huge watchlist for me to follow, and my Wikipedia experience mostly consisted of patrolling recent changes and not actually contributing any new material. In other words, it was no longer fun. So on 11 May 2008 I left.

And on 11 June 2008 I returned. Much of the old watchlist went, and with recharged batteries I started contributing again. Around this time I had rediscovered an old passion of mine and now found myself contributing to articles on trams. During the subsequent year or so I was doing quite a lot of research into ships and seafaring as a part of my university studies. After doing "real" research into ships I found my interest in contributing to Wikipedia articles on the subject waning rapidly. In April 2009 I ended up removing the majority of ships articles from my watchlist as I had ceased even looking at the changes made to most of them.

Some of my own favourite photographs that I have taken and subsequently donated to the Wikimedia Commons. Due to repeated incidents where picture I donated to the commons have been reproduced in media without properly crediting me as the author, I have decided to stop contributing new photographs to the Commons and related Wiki projects.
