Hi, I'm Wyatt.
I was born 17 December 1970 (Star sign: Sagittarius - fortunately Sagittarii don't believe in Astrology)
I was raised in "Darkest Africa" in the City of Joburg (spelled without an apostrophe), (formerly Johannesburg ), largest city in South Africa. I have a degree in Applied Chemistry.
I worked for what was then the second largest gold mining company in the world (Anglo American )*1 as a senior chemist while trying to catch gold thieves. I spent the last 17 years as a tourist guide mostly in Johannesburg and Soweto.
In 2017 my wife and I decided to retire and since then I've spent a lot of time working in our garden.
I trade derivatives at night (day time for you western hemisphere people) and listen to many podcasts during the day. I'm interested in fostering scepticism because we need more of it everywhere.
My self-set target contribution of 0.004% to English Wikipedia and 0.25% to Afrikaans Wikipedia was reached after two years, and I have slowed down significantly.
Trivia item: Almost everybody in South Africa speaks at least 2 languages and some as many as 11.[1]
Notes:
*1. Anglo American sold its last gold holdings in South Africa in Feb 2020.[2]

Works in progress
Pages I am currently interested in following
Pages I tried to update but failed
Otto Brune - South African mathematician. Couldn't find additional info. Added infobox
Nuno Pires - no additional info. Might not be notable.
Stephan Swanson - now a tour guide. No independent sources, most sources are dead links.
Backburner
These pages have serious issues unlikely to be resolved soon or other reasons not to complete.
Tana Joseph - New page!! Was already done and deleted in Nov 2018 - Not notable enough, 3rd party sources needed.
Waste disposal
These pages I wasted time on only to have them deleted. It seems unlikely that I will spend more time on them.
Aaron Cohen - I edited this page extensively. It lead to a copy/edit fight with a groupie. An editor took over the fight, it went AFD and now is gone.
Michael J. Wingfield - South African botanist and pathologist. I just spruced up this page and when the editors took another look at it, it seems that original page (not written by me) was a copyright violation. So its gone now.
Pierre Rautenbach - no secondary refs. Not notable. Started AfD and page was deleted on 3 Oct 2019.
Edmund February - no secondary refs. No info on him as a scientist. Started AfD and page was deleted on 25 October 2019.
