From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
| My name is Eric. For the time being, most of my contribution to Wikipedia is through copyediting articles as I come across them. When I have the time, I help edit and complete English Wikipedia articles translated from French and German ones. For a living, I do GIS and the occasional translation project. |
