Hi, this is Crisco 1492. I'd like to thank you for taking time to read my profile, and wish you success with any articles you write in the future.

The Name

My screenname is of a direct reference to Christopher Columbus, whom I admire as an explorer, but there are also other symbolic meanings. The first part, Crisco is a derivation of not only the first name of the (arguably) first European discoverer of America, but also my own. Another little reference is to the shortener, which symbolizes to me all of the food that I enjoy so much. The second portion, 1492, is a direct reference to the year Columbus first travelled to America.

Overview

I am a Canadian student, who is currently studying Indonesian literature in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, and am planning on pursuing a career in teaching English as a Second Language in Indonesia after I graduate. I may also become a translator. I became a Wikipedian on June 20, 2005. I also joined Wiktionary on January 29, 2006. I started by making minor adjustments such as fixing typos and adding comments to the discussion pages of articles where I find things contrary to my understanding of Wiki-policy. Now I do a lot of work in page creation, especially articles related to Indonesia. I also participate in numerous places around Wikipedia, including translation, AFD, FP, FA, and GA.

About me

I was born in Windsor, Ontario, Canada on March 15, 1989. I graduated from J. L. Forster Secondary School , and met a lot of friends for life there. After graduation, I was one of the Rotary Youth Exchange students from the Windsor; my destination was Yogyakarta. Even though I am no longer an exchange student, I am still active with Rotary.

In the real world I do a little bit of everything. Among the things I do regularly are:

  • Attend classes.
  • Translation, English-Indonesian and Indonesian-English
  • Teaching English in an elementary school.
  • Tutoring, also English. Most of my students are in elementary school, but I have some adult students as well.
  • Volunteering at a school for the hearing impaired, teaching English pronunciation by writing the words quasi-phonologically.
  • Help my friend with her dissertation regarding eminent domain in Indonesia.
  • Write poetry, mainly in Indonesian.

I strongly believe that sports are to be participated in, and not watched. Where's the fun in watching golf? You have to play it to feel the rush!

I hope to see the world eventually, and visit friends I met online. Personally, I think that a world trip would open my eyes to how lucky I am to live in Canada. Some of my other hobbies include reading (especially books by Michael Crichton and Tom Clancy), playing video games, chess, and bicycling.

I am a huge Nintendo fan, but here in Indonesia, everyone uses the PS2 and PS3. As such, since I've arrived, I've been focusing on Playstation games.

I'm a Final Fantasy and a Resident Evil addict. I have completed Final Fantasy I, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, XII, Crystal Chronicles, Dirge of Cerberus, and Final Fantasy Tactics. As for Resident Evil, I have finished EVERY single game available for Gamecube, as well as Dead Aim and Umbrella Chronicles.

On the occasion of your 200th DYK, another barnstar. Not only have you substantially filled in Wikipedia's content in the badly lacking areas of Indonesian politics and entertainment, you've also branched out into French painting and French film without sacrificing a bit of quality. I realize this is your fifth or sixth tireless contributor barnstar, but hey... you're just that tireless. Khazar (talk) 23:54, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

While still mining the rich vein of Indonesian subjects, you continue to spread your wings. Many congratulations! Moonraker (talk) 07:32, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
