I am Dan Koehl, a Swedish man, 🐘 elephant lover and trainer, php-programmer and website developer, living and working in Siem Reap, Cambodia.

During summer 2002, I started to contribute to wikis like Meatball and Nupedia, and made my first edit September 29, 2002, 5:32 pm, to a Wikimedia project as not registered user with ip: chello062178255091.7.12.vie.surfer.at on article sv:Medeltid on the Swedish Wikipedia and 2,5 hours later an edit on sv:Biologi as registered User:Koehl. (link to source with archived page for http://sv.wikipedia.com)

The next day, 30 September 2002, I made my first edit on the English Wikipedia on my user page User:Koehl, and made my first article edit 11 October 2002 as User:Koehl on the article Proboscidea, which make me the 90th earliest user still 'active', and not the 106'th stated on this list..

During 2002, a Swedish Wiki community developed around a Swedish wiki, called Susning.nu, since the Swedish Wikipedia was more or less inactive. After an advertising banner was exposed on Susning.nu 21st November, I moved permanently to Wikipedia and brought a number of very active editors with me, in order to develop the svwiki. Susning.nu closed later, partly due to less traffic, after Swedish users started to use the Swedish Wikipedia more. I also made my first edit here 21st November 2002 as User:Dan Koehl with Wikipedia id nr 5705.

My main interests has since then been biology, taxonomy and animal related articles such as Zoos, freshwater aquarium fish species, as well as genealogy and ancestry for Middle Ages biograpies of knights, kings, Nobility and other medieval people. I founded Wikipedia:WikiProject Genealogy 9 December 2002‎, where I am now coordinator, and Im also coordinator for Wikiproject Zoo and try to maintain the Portal:Zoos and aquariums.

I have joined the Typo Team and I hunt typos with AWB, and adopted Sweeden, Scandanavia. I have also spent some time fighting vandalism with STiki and other anti-vandalism tools, and make reports to Administrator intervention against vandalism in case of persistent vandalism, Edit warring, and Requests for page protection. I also review new pages and tried to decrease New Pages Feed backlog and participated as AfC reviewer.

I also own and manage a couple of wikis and other websites on my own, already in 1995 I started my first website http://www.elephant.se which has developed into the worlds largest elephant database, which has been used also a source for scientific research.

2014: 21st Nov I patrolled my first article. In December 2014 I became rollbacker, pending changes reviewer, started to use Twinkle, Huggle and was granted right to use AutoWikiBrowser.

2018: In January 2018 I passed 30. 000 edits on the English Wikipedia, became included in the top 2,500 contributors, in 19th Jan I reached position #50 on the leaderboard, and 21st Jan i crossed the 10,000 classification threshold on STiki, as well as being included in Top new article reviewers and AfC reviewers. In September I reached position #45 on the STiki leaderboard and celebrated 16 years service on Wikimedia project with over 180 000 edits as Vanguard Editor (or Lord Gom, the Highest Togneme of the Encyclopedia). My present rank is nr 2150

Swedish Wikipedia

After a commercial banner was exposed on Susning.nu, where I was one of the major contributors, the 20th November 2002, I moved over to Swedish Wikipedia, where I became one of its "Founding fathers". Although Jimmy Wales had mentioned advertisment on Wikipedia earlier in 2001, I trusted that Wikipedia would remain a non-profit organization, and I liked the Wikipedia:Five pillars.

Back in 2002 Swedish Wikipedia was still the perl interface UseMod at sv.wikipedia.com, I helped to translate the Perl script to PHP MediaWiki and became member nr 3 and the first sysop on Swedish Wikipedia, and I started to implement species factbox on the Swedish Wikipedia 15 December 2002, and since then I have been active submitting new species to the project, and updating existing.

I have created over 2000 articles since then with accounts Koehl, Dan Köhl and Dan Koehl.

21st of January 2017, I was blocked on the svwiki for one year, and this has been going on since then, see [1], Swedish Wikipedia blocking policy violation and Administrator abuse (2020), Swedish Wikipedia blocking policy violation and Administrator abuse (2017). Swedish Wikipedia has no dispute resolution, no third opinion assistance, no rules against harassment or outing. See also Talk:Swedish_Wikipedia...

Already in November 2002, I started a users democracy project on the svWiki, which I called The Thing. This was 4 years before anything similar on other Wikipedia sections, since (cite) Until the beginning of 2004, Jimbo Wales dealt with all serious disputes other than simple vandalism (straightforward vandals could be blocked by any administrator). He was also the only person with the authority to ban users. In December 2003 he delegated[1] that role in dispute handling to an Arbitration Committee, with initial membership of volunteer experienced users. Wales wrote in January 2000.

The Arbitration Committee [...] can impose a solution that I'll consider to be binding, with of course the exception that I reserve the right of executive clemency and indeed even to dissolve the whole thing if it turns out to be a disaster. But I regard that as unlikely, and I plan to do it about as often as the Queen of England dissolves Parliament against their wishes, i.e., basically never, but it is one last safety valve for our values.

(stop cite)

Unfortunately the Swedish Thing (where ALL users could state their opinion, and take part in a decissions process) was replaced by a local ARBcommitte in May 2005.

In April 2007, Wales confirmed that the Committee could overturn any decision he makes in his traditional capacity within Wikipedia.

And unfortunately the Swedish ARB was replaced by nothing in August 2008, and since then, as a Wikipedia user stated in January 2017, there is much more limited democracy on the Swedish Wikipedia than similar language projects.

Dan Koehl has signed the Petition against Ignore All Rules abuse.

Some of my uploaded pictures on Commons

Since I uploaded my first picture, a photo of a African forest elephant in 2002, it would last many years until I uploaded more pictures. 2014 became the turning point.

My agendas on Wikipedia

Wikipedia should be NPOV and not POV push for a antropogene global warming (AGW) in relevant articles. I believe it is important to inform about strong opinons and agendas on Wikipedia. My two agendas are, that apart from that the earth has repeatedly changed climat during its entire existing, the heavily marketing regarding the global warming during the eighties, has no origin in human activities at all, and since 18 years there has been no global warming at all, in spite of the highest levels of C02, why I regard the C02-theory debunked. I never actually saw the C02-theory a result of scientist, but merely a political manipulation by a few, like IPCC, of the public.

Vikings were, and is, only the old English word for pirats and nothing more

I have an agenda: As a scandinavian, I object to that all my Scandinavian ancestors, although belonging to "Norseman" and "Northmen" during the Viking Age, are on the english wikipedia described as vikings, when most probably 99% of Northmen were not, and reliable sources claim that at least most Swedes were defending their country against vikings..

I strongly believe that he word, and the article Viking should reflect the historical persons who were really vikings, and not my forefathers. Its time that also in the english language, the word Viking gets a modern definition, and not belong in the same box as Nigger, Nazi, and other terms that people has used uncorrectly for groups of people. I am a scandinavian, and so were my Northmen ancestors in Scandinavia between 800 and 1066. Most probably, only a very few percent of those Norse people were actually vikings, and its very wrong to refer to them as such, just becasue its fun, or "we did like that a long time" (less than 50 years) etc.

I want biased POV articles like Viking to become NPOV; so that you can read about true, documented Vikings, on the page about vikings, and not read myths, fantasies, or a lot of stuff that refer to norse people in general. Now the article Norseman is even redirected to viking article, which is not correct: Viking is an oldenglish word that means pirat, and the latin word piratae is directly translated to viking in numerous documents, during medevial time. I argue that the article Viking, should supply information about vikings and not about a late misinterpreted ideas about who Vikings were, or any fantasies people may have. I object to that article viking expands the original meaning, including more or less every Norseman during viking time; (people of north Germanic descent, people of the Norse culture, scandinavians, scandinavian kings, tradesmen, settlers, founder of cities, explorers of America), since viking has only one meaning: it means pirat. A pirat can be from just anywhere. And a Norseman, or scandinavian person during medevial time who didnt perform piracy should not be refered to as a viking.

1. Vikings, as any pirate, could origin from anywhere: The first documented use of the word viking is made by Orosius, written in latin, and translated into old english. There is to read about Alexander the Great´s father, Philip II of Macedonia: Philippus vero post longam obsidionem, ut pecuniam quam obsidendo exhauserat, praedando repararet, piraticam adgressus est. translated into: ac he scipa gegaderade, and i vicingas wurdon. In this time the word pirat was not used in the english language, the latin piraticam was directly translated to vicingus.

2.Vikings, as any pirate, can not be labelled as tradesmen, (or any civil profession) because tradesmen doesnt perform piracy: Egil Skallagrimsson: Björn var farmaður mikill, var stundum í víking, en stundum í kaupferðum; Björn var hinn gervilegasti maður. (english: Björn was a great traveller; sometimes as viking, sometimes as tradesman.)

3. Vikings, as any pirate, can never be used as a label for someone who is not viking, like a scandinavian who defend his land against viking raids, or a king who chases away vikings from his land: Harald I of Norway At last, Harald was forced to make an expedition to the West, to clear the islands and the Scottish mainland of some Vikings who tried to hide there.. (the original text says in english translation:

King Harald heard that the vikings, who were in the West sea in winter, plundered far and wide in the middle part of Norway; and therefore every summer he made an expedition to search the isles and out-skerries (1) on the coast. Wheresoever the vikings heard of him they all took to flight, and most of them out into the open ocean. At last the king grew weary of this work, and therefore one summer he sailed with his fleet right out into the West sea. First he came to Hjaltland (Shetland), and he slew all the vikings who could not save themselves by flight. Then King Harald sailed southwards, to the Orkney Islands, and cleared them all of vikings. Thereafter he proceeded to the Sudreys (Hebrides), plundered there, and slew many vikings who formerly had had men-at-arms under them.

-King Harald would never agree that he was a viking-king, he was, like probably 99% of scandinavians were, fighting vikings.
