Hi all. My main interests are Thailand, Education, Religion, Buddhism, Film, and Fishkeeping. I'm the founder and coordinator of Wikipedia:WikiProject Aquarium Fishes and its newsletter. I'm also involved with several portals including Fish Portal (creator, monthly updater), Amphibians and Reptiles Portal (creator, monthly updater), Thailand portal (monthly updater of several sections), Cambodia portal (monthly updater), and Asia portal (used to monthly update but stopped - it's pointless to keep a portal that doesn't have any readers whatsoever). I also created The Fish Quiz as part of the Fish Portal.

Thank you for starting the Fish Quiz. It is a fun experience the informs us users about fish we were unaware of, gets me more interested in fish, and altogether is informative. Pteronura brasiliensis (talk) 22:34, 15 October 2011 (UTC) |
