Je contribue sur la Wikipédia francophone.

I support French language Wikipedia with my contributions.

I was born in Nordhorn.

My original profile as "Nordhorner" worked only for the German Wikipedia and therefore I created a second profile: "Nordhorner II".

I had started writing Wiki articles in German because, quite frankly, as a beginner I felt more comfortable writing for a smaller readership.

When I began posting English articles I used to create a German version as a by-product because it seemed natural to me. Somehow I felt obliged to do something for those country fellowmen of mine who are not as familiar with English as I am. Well, the English version usually had ten times more readers. But the feedback was altogether different, not only in regards to quantity. To cut a long story short, I complied when I was explained that I would do the most for the German Wikipedia if I stopped contributing in any way. By the way, at the same time I was invited to join a project in the English Wikipedia.
