My wiki ac­ti­vi­ty is re­stric­ted to en.wiktionary, since I have come to the con­clu­sion that wi­ki pro­jects in Romanian are a lost cause.

I started out editing Latin entries, which are plagued by a trait which I would call crustiness—I like to hope that I’ve exfoliated that crust off every Latin entry I’ve touched. I took up learn­ing Latin on a whim which grew into love, led by Hans Ørberg’s Familia Romana text­book.

An­other less ex­plain­able whim led me to start learn­ing Akkadian. I made it fif­teen chap­ters in­to Huehnergard’s book be­fore the dread caused by the heap of de­vil­ish cu­ne­i­form syl­lables I’d have to learn out­weighed my fas­ci­na­tion with the beau­ti­ful lan­guage.

Co­ming to my sen­ses a­bout prac­ti­cal mat­ters and not wan­ting my Akkadian train­ing to go to waste I took up Modern Hebrew. Something else I’ve come to my senses about is the fact that I’m far more useful as an editor of a language I’m actually competent in, so now I contribute to Wiktionary’s coverage of Romanian.

My German is good if rus­ty, I ha­ted French be­fore it was cool, and learning Taiwanese and Hungarian is on my bucket list.

Flagship entries: porrō for Latin, abia for Romanian (hopefully to be replaced by tot when it’s done).
