I am an amateur euro collector, with passion for information about the euro. Currently helping on any article that refers to the Eurozone, especially in numismatics. Personal motto:

"大きな栗の木の下で、 あなたと私、仲良く遊びましょう"

(Ookina kurino kino shitade, anatato watashi, nakayoku asobimashou)

... tip: is in Japanese. These little three verses are for me the core foundation of Wikipedia!

Brief History and Milestones[edit]

• May 28, 2007: I joined Wikipedia, I did some small corrections to Havana‎, a city where I spent a few years of my life. I was passive for a few months, I did not realize how fun editing in Wikipedia was.
• December 17, 2007: I came back with my second edit, I added the second series information to Belgian euro coins. I have been quite active since then.
• March 21, 2008: I reached 500 edits, when together with Kevin hipwell were designing the layout of Euro gold and silver commemorative coins‎. This article has been my inspiration since then, and I have been 90% of the time on articles related to it.
• April 20, 2008: Received my first barn star, thanks to Kevin hipwell.
• April 29, 2008: I reached 1000 edits, with a question I posted in Template talk:Country data Saint Barthélemy‎ (I answered myself a few minutes later on the same page).
• May 27, 2008: My first peer review request was completed (now archived here) on the article Euro gold and silver commemorative coins (Belgium).
• June 13, 2008: I reached 2000 edits, answering in Talk:Germany‎ a challenge to a change I did in the article.
• July 7, 2008: My first FLC was approved, the article Euro gold and silver commemorative coins (Belgium) was promoted to Feature List.
• July 8, 2008: Received my second barn star, thanks to Buster7.
• July 14, 2008: My second peer review request was completed (now archived here) on the article Euro gold and silver commemorative coins (Austria). As a result a few editors (The Duke of Waltham, Buster7, Alastair Haines, Carcharoth and Kevin hipwell) came and help to copy edit this article.
• August 20, 2008: I reached 3000 edits, discussing a layout topic to add mintage quantities for the article Austrian euro coins with Kevin hipwell.
• October 19, 2008: 4000 edits reached, this time as part of my constant efforts of removing unsourced material. The article in question was Marshall Plan.
• November 11, 2008: 5000 edits reached while wiki-linking Euro gold and silver commemorative coins (Greece)‎.
• January 5, 2009: 6000 edits reached while answering some personal messages in my talk page after been out for a nice five days holiday.
