Hello. My name is Kevin (hence Kevlar) and I live in Edmonton, Alberta. I am a student at Grant MacEwan College. I’m interested in Politics, History, Geography, Drama, Music, and Sports. I’m also interested in learning more about, and sharing info on, local and ethnic cultures. I’m planning to contribute articles about my own heritage (Ukrainian Canadian and Irish Canadian) and locality (Edmonton, northern Alberta, Western Canada, etc.) and about other topics that I am interested in, like ice hockey and heavy metal music.

I'm related to at least one person with a WP article, Murray Baron, and possibly also to Paul Shmyr.

These are useful links for all Canadian and Canadophile Wikipedians. (Yes I just made that word up.)

[edit] Related Projects

I've been working hard to try to expand the English Wikipedia's coverage of French last names, especially those ranked as among the most common in Quebec (e.g. Tremblay, Landry, Morin).

I added or edited several pages related to oilpatch occupations: Oiler, Roughneck, Motorman, etc.

I've been trying hard to eliminated nationalist wanking on the emerging superpowers pages, China, India, and the EU.

I've also spent entirely too much time makign sure all our famous Ukrainian Canadians are in that proper category.

Speaking of mis-used time, I'm been giving time and place categories for a lot of Canadian businesses.

Lately I've expanded my last-names efforts into Ukrainian names like Andreychuk, Fedoruk, and Tkachuk.

I've created and populated serval sub-cats for Category:Edmonton, Alberta, and Category:Alberta such as Category:Companies based in Edmonton, Category:Buildings and structures in Edmonton and Category:Festivals in Alberta.

Also, I've tried to work on articles related to Ukrainian cuisine, like borshch, blini, kovbasa, etc. And on the Twelve-dish Christmas Eve supper. And on Quebec and Canadian cuisine, like butter tarts and sugar pies.

[edit] NB

REMEMBER: (notes to myslef)

• Don't get bogged down doing mantiance tasks for hours! (especially categorizing things!)
• Do your homework first, then write articles about it.
• Edit it for fun and to acheive something, not just to waste time.
