Hello World!

Wikipedia interests
I'm interested, for Wikipedia purposes, in the following topics:
→ Classical music: particularly string solo, chamber, and orchestral repertoire and composers
→ Anime: anything by Studio Ghibli
→ Learning how to use Wikipedia! I'm new to the site, so by all means leave me a message to give me advice or simply say hi!
Currently working on
→ Editing the xxxHolic page
→ Editing the List of xxxHolic characters page
→ Editing the Clamp page
→ Improving any page that has to do with Clamp, actually
→ Editing the Bach Cello Suites page
→ Editing and adding on to the Pieter Wispelwey page - he's my favorite Bach interpreter!
→ Expanding the Jean-Guihen Queyras page
→ Improving the János Starker page
→ Translating the French wiki for Jacques Mistral into English (done, needs some work though)
→ Fixing stuff as a member of the Studio Ghibli task force
→ Looking around for more cello-related things to improve
→ Translating the French wiki for Ophélie Gaillard into English (done, needs some work too)
→ Creating an xxxHOLiC Rei page (waiting for updates...)
→ Creating an English-language page for French string quartet Quatuor Ébène (done!)
→ Editing the Wenzel Pichl page
→ Learning how to Wikipedia...
Skills
→ Language translation and interpretation: English, français, and فارسی
→ English grammar, spelling, and syntax
→ Classical music performance
→ Does being a CLAMP fan count?
