User:Dragfyre

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

dragfyre (pronounced /ˈdræɡ.faɪər/) is the pseudonym of a Wikipedia user living in Ottawa. dragfyre is a Bahá'í who visits Vietnam regularly, and at any given moment he is probably sipping on cà phê sữa while he edits articles on one of a number of Wikimedia projects. He also enjoys writing more about himself in the lead section of his userpage so that the extra characters can balance out the increased height of the floating boxbox to the right of the page.
