Hi, I'm JoJan (username), I'm retired since a few years and I live in Belgium.

I'm a native Dutch speaker, but I'm also fluent in English, rather good in French and can make myself understood in German. I used to know a good deal of Latin, but I have forgotten most of it (however more and more fragments are gradually coming back).

My main interest was originally the translation of English common names of Flora and Fauna into their Dutch equivalents.

Therefore I'm constantly struggling with the ever changing taxonomy of these plants and animals.

I have more than a thousand pages of Fauna and Flora, built up over many years, to be put gradually on Wikipedia.

This is a time-consuming task.

Besides all this, my interests are broad : among them astronomy, cosmology, chemistry, computers, translation (English -> Dutch and vice versa) and reading a lot.

Besides writing new articles (mainly plants, biographies, articles about art, and Wikipedia:WikiProject Gastropods), I have been patrolling the 'Recent Changes', looking for anything that may interest me and needs editing, especially stubs. I have been adding or editing taxoboxes to many pages. Anyway, I intervene whenever I think I can make a positive contribution. I also have taken an interest in writing biographies of biologists who were the authors of new species. I have also been uploading several hundreds of photos (many of which were enhanced by me) and over 10,000 photos to the Commons.
