My name is Brady Brim-DeForest. I have a particular interest in geography, cartography, antiquarian matters, phaleristics, heraldry, European history, nobility, and royal families. My native language is English, and I have varying degrees of knowledge of several other European languages.
I am a wiki inclusionist. Where else could I find information on subjects like Executive One, Kolda, French grip, and Lithia Park? The more information the better.
Here are some of the tools I commonly use in my Wikipedia editing: Wiki tools

Wikimedia Board of Trustees
In 2009, I was a candidate for the Wikimedia Board of Trustees. Here is my statement of intent:
As a Trustee, I will be an advocate of open, transparent dialogue with the community and will strive to serve as both its voice and its messenger. Specifically, I will:
Plan for the long-term viability of the Wikimedia projects through establishment of an endowment that doesn't compromise the independence of the organization.
Encourage Wikimedia's adoption of open standards for interoperability, ensuring its continued role as the hub of the open knowledge ecosystem.
Fight to protect the neutrality of the internet to ensure that the efforts of the Wikimedia community pay long-term dividends and are preserved for future generations.
