My journey as a Wikipedian
I love wikipedia. I started using Wikipedia in 2006 and later registered on 29 August 2007 with a username that is still active and owned by me. I am interested in medicine especially Optometry and Computer programming. I believe in Jesus Christ of Nazareth and I am a Christian.
I encourage all who visit this page to consider developing African content especially that from Ghana. For those who have lived, live or visit Africa and contribute to African content of Wikipedia please visit this.

For, as a new user, really embracing the principles and approaches of the community and making every effort to welcome new users and improve content where you are able! Sadads (talk) 12:03, 30 April 2011 (UTC)
Crosstemplejay is presented this Africa Award for significant contributions in expanding coverage of Ghanaian geography, government, and optometry. Presented by Khazar.
Congratulations for creating so many articles on topics related to Ghana! You have had more than 25 of them mentioned on the main page in the "Did you know" section, and now you are listed at the page Wikipedians by number of DYKs. Keep up the good work! Binksternet (talk) 17:14, 18 June 2011 (UTC)
So fifty DYKs - thats not so easy. All those articles and many of them about Ghana and some about Christian subjects, sometimes both and sometimes just a random subject. And if you have done 50 DYKs then you have probably nominated another 50 articles so that is a 100 that you have helped with. So thank you again and if you have enjoyed this award then pass it on to another of our contributors. Anyone can give out the goodness. Thanks for yours.
