About Me

"If knowledge can create problems, it is not through ignorance that we can solve them." -Isaac Asimov

I am MacGyverMagic, also known by the abbreviation of Mgm on the internet and I come from the Netherlands. I first came to Wikipedia after seeing it featured on BBC Click Online. My very first edit was improving the article Sodium chloride on April 18, 2004. I did the coding by looking up examples elsewhere. Only after succesfully editing that page, did I start reading all the help and policy pages. I got addicted soon after and since December 1, 2004 I have administrator status on the English Wikipedia.

Nowadays, I like patrolling recent changes and new articles. I also try to participate in Articles for creation and Articles for deletion as much as I can. I'm also listed as a translator from Dutch to English.

Even though I study chemistry, I tend to stay away from chemistry articles in order to keep my time of Wikipedia a hobby instead of work. My favorite topics to edit are: magic, Ancient Egypt (hieroglyphs in particular), and various articles on film and television. Since I believe a lot of talented young actors of stage and screen are heavily underrepresented on Wikipedia, I tend to work on articles related to children's television and child actors. But I often get distracted, resulting in edits all over the place.

Outside of Wikipedia I enjoy performing magic, fiction writing and a game called mafia (also known as werewolf).

For quite a while I managed the "Did you know" section on the Main Page.
