Hello. I'm Robbie Honerkamp. I'm an IT manager living in Singapore (originally from Atlanta, Georgia). I don't edit articles nearly as much as I used to.

My interests are fairly eclectic though you'll most often find me working on Georgia (US State) or Africa-related topics. I also sometimes poke through pages listed as needing cleanup to see if there are any I could help with.

I'm currently working on cleaning up and writing new Nigeria and Equatorial Guinea-related entries. Recently I've been working on updating and creating new pages about the political systems of various African states- there's a lot of outdated lists of members of Cabinets, especially. I've also been writing articles that detail the history of Nigerian corporations, primarily government-owned ventures such as the Nigerian Coal Corporation, the Nigerian radio operator, the Electrical Corporation, etc.

My website is at http://www.ding.net/~robbie/ . Contact information may be found there.

Attaboys

Some of my articles have been chosen for front-page WP mentions:

• Mining in Nigeria, Did You Know?, 18 April 2008
• Nigerian Coal Corporation, Did You Know?, 18 April 2008
• Mining industry of Equatorial Guinea Did You Know?, 7 May 2008

To-do List

• Additional research for WAAC and Nigeria Airways articles. There is some contention over the date WAAC became Nigeria Airways... questionable sources have been cited, and these need to be replaced with better sources.
• Rewrite Rail transport in Nigeria. Integrate "timeline" section. Add new sources from Railway Magazine. Expand Nigerian Railway Corporation (NYB p57) (HCI p75)
• Find additional sources for Lagos Sanitary Railway - there should be enough information out there somewhere (not online tho-check journals) to make a full article on this and nightsoil operations in general.
• Expand John Holt plc
• Expand Transport in Nigeria with information on historical ferry services NYB 66-69)
• Create entry for Fatai Olagunjo (Fatai Rolling Dollar). Refs:
