These you can see in the box to the right... and I am proud to be able to order a beer in German, Spanish and Japanese, as well, but I don't know how to ask where the toilet is in any of them — which can cause problems:( But I can say "hello" in all of them!

Notez-bien que mon français écrit est beaucoup moins que parfait. En étant anglo-québécois, je suis fier de parler les langues de mon peuple, mais mes liasons, mes tenses, et mon orthographie peuvent être mélangé — comme vous pouvez voire. (Et surtout les gendres - quelle horreur!) Vous trouveriez parfois des anglicismes et du "franglais" parmi mes "scribblages" (voyez!) aussi. Et biens, quoi-faire? Soyez, je vous en prie, patient(e) avec moi.

Working on...

edit

My primary projects are all the English Wikipedia. My main projects thus far have been on starting/reworking/adding to:

None is yet completed. As well, I have started an article (still a stub, alas) on Les Brayons, and have contributed editorial content to several articles, and an image to one other.

Seeking...

edit

Several images, including:

  1. Photographs of 1 man and 1 woman in the anatomical position, against a neutral background - high resolution, front, back and from about a 30 deg. angle to the camera. These are for inclusion in the anatomical terms of location article.[3]
  2. A flag of the mytho-historical Republic of Madawaska, for inclusion in the article of the same name,[4] my article on Les Brayons,[5] and probably the article on the Aroostook War. [6]
  3. A map, showing the aforementioned Republic of Madawaska, for use in same.

Reaching me...

edit

So, got a pic I can use? Know where I can find one? Just wanna chat? Leave a message on my discussion page here (above), or on the one with the same username on the English Wikipedia, and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. All the best to you all - mes sentiments les meilleurs, Esseh 11:18, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
