Mike
A user and admin from Sweden, splits his time mainly between RL (insufficiently), sv:wiktionary and en:wiktionary. No linguist or anything such, but thinks that words are pretty interesting. Here, he adds Swedish translations and some Swedish words. He'd like to learn more languages, but hasn't quite got around to do it in a serious manner. On sv: he's more like a "cleaner" who adds formatting and inflections, and a chronic "planner" and "organizer" who always tries to find new ways to both make things look coherent (and hence dull, he's afraid) and make it as easy as possible to add new words with as few keyboard strokes/mouse clicks as possible... Not very successfully though =)

He's very well aware that his grasp of English is far from perfect (the reason why he usually doesn't add English entries), but assumes that the more time he spends here, the more English he'll learn. Vision: go to England (or similar) to learn to pronounce things prop'ly... :/

Other languages: As a Swede, he does understand most Norwegian and Danish based on their similarities with Swedish, but they are not similar enough to make him write anything in any of them. He also studied German once. But that's some time ago, so things are getting pretty shaky... On the other hand: very often there are simple words - proper nouns mostly - which are very easy to define. Those are possible to translate back and forth in almost any language :) (That's the only reason why there is once was a "hu:" or a "nl:"-entry in the table above.)

Projects here: There was once a bunch of right-floating inflection templates which were a bit ... disliked by the rest of the community as they interfered too much with other stuff which also were supposed to go to the right. He has ever so slowly started to repair this damage, by the initial creation of new verb templates ({{sv-verb-reg}} and {{sv-verb-irr}}), but as next step would be to do the full conjugation templates, and he is not quite sure how to do that (which forms to add) he longs for some help by someone who knows a bit about formal Swedish grammar... So the work has kind of stalled at the moment.

Ways of contact: Well, the usual way is of course this link to write a message on his talk page. If you want more secrecy, you could try to send him a mail :) However, he's a lazy bum who doesn't read his mail every day, so prepare that it may take two or three days to respond, if you're unlucky (please don't take it personal). He hangs out on IRC (#wiktionary and #wikipedia-sv, mainly). Good luck :)




Languages known
sv This user is a native speaker of Swedish; in which he speaks but doesn't write his own particular dialect.
en This user is a somewhat fluent speaker of English, however gets frustrated when he can't use it as fluently as he does his native tongue.
de This user knows the basics of German. Anything more advanced has unfortunately been forgotten.
da This user understands most Danish but won't attempt to use it himself.
no This user understands most Norwegians but is not confident enough to use those languages himself.
* This user can occasionally decipher easy texts in yet a couple of languages, though he can barely put together a sentence of his own. Listing those languages would be utterly ridiculous... (I think he wanted another babel box!)
