…or at least it was when the clock was last updated. It doesn't seem to work very well, at least not the whole time.

=About Me=
My name is CJMoss, and I am a teacher, mainly of [[English language|English]], but also [[French language|French]]. My home base is currently [[Bolton, Ontario]], although I wind up in [[User:Kelisi/Lynx|interesting]] [[User talk:Kelisi/Lynx|parts]] of the world now and again in connection with my work teaching English.

One of the great joys in my life is travelling. I have been to five [[continent]]s – [[Antarctica]] and [[South America]] are the only ones I haven't visited yet. I've also been to what some geographers regard as a mostly sunken continent called [[Zealandia (continent)|Zealandia]], although I stuck mostly to the parts that are still high and dry. I even spent ten years living in [[China]], but oddly, I picked up very little [[Chinese language|Chinese]].

My other interests include, as some may have discerned from my contributions, [[language]]s, [[geography]], [[railway]]s (merging [[Coupler]] and [[Coupling (railway)]] was fun!), [[photography]] (many of the photos I've contributed are my own), offbeat [[humour]] as exemplified by (you guessed it) [[Monty Python]], and [[politics]].

===Username===
The username? That's my Chinese name, 柯理思 (Kē Lǐsī), which I needed once for a bank account in China. The bank's system couldn't handle foreign names. The first syllable is a common Chinese surname which I was told had no particular meaning (although one dictionary that I looked in said it meant "axe helve"), and the two-syllable "given name" means "logical thought". It was not my own choice, by the way.

I also discovered at one job that I had a Chinese nickname among the Chinese staff at my school. It was 大胡子 (Dà Húzi), which means "Big Beard". I only found out about it when a Chinese colleague sent me an email with this as my surname in the "To" line. She obviously had my name like that in her address book.

===Work===
I am looking forward to another overseas assignment.

=== Nationality ===
I ought to mention that I am.........

Here are a few pictures that I've contributed to Wikipedia. These are all my own work:

=German translations=
I have translated a good number of articles from [[German language|German]] about [[Widerstand|resistance]] fighters in [[Nazi Germany]], and others who were unfortunate enough to incur the [[Nazi]]s' wrath.
[[File:Hombergw.jpg|thumb|500px]]
[[File:Erbach Bürgermeisterhaus.jpg|thumb]]
[[File:Michelstadt Rathaus.jpg|thumb]]
I have furthermore created or expanded articles about '''''every''''' municipality in each of the following German districts (''Kreise''): 
#[[Alzey-Worms]] ([[Rhineland-Palatinate]])
#[[Aschaffenburg (district)|Aschaffenburg]] ([[Bavaria]])
#[[Aue-Schwarzenberg]] ([[Saxony]])
#[[Bad Dürkheim (district)|Bad Dürkheim]] (Rhineland-Palatinate)
#[[Bamberg (district)|Bamberg]] (Bavaria)
#[[Bernkastel-Wittlich]] (Rhineland-Palatinate)
#[[Birkenfeld (district)|Birkenfeld]] (Rhineland-Palatinate)
#[[Cochem-Zell]] (Rhineland-Palatinate)
#[[Ebersberg (district)|Ebersberg]] (Bavaria)
#[[Grafschaft Bentheim]] ([[Lower Saxony]])
#[[Groß-Gerau (district)|Groß-Gerau]] ([[Hesse]])
#[[Hersfeld-Rotenburg]] (Hesse)
#[[Hochtaunuskreis]] (Hesse)
#[[Höxter (district)|Höxter]] ([[North Rhine-Westphalia]])
#[[Kreis Bergstraße]] (Hesse)
#[[Kusel (district)|Kusel]]* (Rhineland-Palatinate)
#[[Lahn-Dill-Kreis]] (Hesse)
#[[Limburg-Weilburg]] (Hesse)
#[[Main-Spessart]] (Bavaria)
#[[Mainz-Bingen]] (Rhineland-Palatinate)
#[[Marburg-Biedenkopf]] (Hesse)
#[[Miltenberg (district)|Miltenberg]] (Bavaria)
#[[Odenwaldkreis]] (Hesse)
#[[Offenbach (district)|Offenbach]] (Hesse)
#[[Rhein-Hunsrück-Kreis]] (Rhineland-Palatinate)
#[[Rheingau-Taunus-Kreis]] (Hesse)
#[[Schwalm-Eder-Kreis]] (Hesse)
#[[Siegen-Wittgenstein]] (North Rhine-Westphalia)
#[[Vogelsbergkreis]] (Hesse)
#[[Vulkaneifel]] (Rhineland-Palatinate)
#[[Waldeck-Frankenberg]] (Hesse)
#[[Werra-Meißner-Kreis]] (Hesse)
#[[Westerwaldkreis]] (Rhineland-Palatinate)
#[[Wittenberg (district)|Wittenberg]] ([[Saxony-Anhalt]])

"Westerwaldkreis" contained 209 articles.

The one marked with an asterisk (*) is the most recent addition to the list.

I have also expanded or created articles for individual towns here and there, such as [[Flensburg]], [[Bobingen]], [[Bergen auf Rügen]], [[Gelsenkirchen]] (major expansion from the [[:de:Gelsenkirchen|German article]]) and [[Forchheim (Oberfranken)|Forchheim]] (once again translated mainly from the [[:de:Forchheim (Oberfranken)|German article]]).

The [[Rothaargebirge]], [[Nuremberg U-Bahn]], [[Westerwald]], [[Odenwald]] and [[Kellerwald]] articles are mine, too. All are the result of translations from the [[:de:Hauptseite|German Wikipedia]]. Moreover, [[Friedrich Kittler]], while a person rather than a place, and the [[Bombing of Braunschweig in World War II]], an event, have claimed their rightful places here in the English Wikipedia thanks to my translating skills.

If you are into [[translation]] between [[English language|English]] and [[German language|German]] (either way), [[French language|French]] and German, [[Spanish language|Spanish]] and German, [[Italian language|Italian]] and German, [[Chinese language|Chinese]] and German or [[Russian language|Russian]] and German I wholeheartedly recommend this link:

*[http://dict.leo.org/ The '''''UTTERLY AMAZING''''' LEO online translation dictionary]

Its worst shortcoming, however, is that it cannot deconstruct those long German agglutinations like Lebensversicherungsgesellschaftsbeamtenvereinigungsführungssondergespräch, a reasonably common word (6000+ hits on Google) that I'm sure every German says at least four or five times a week – those with big [[lung]]s, anyway. Seriously, though, compounds must sometimes be broken down into their constituent elements and run through the dictionary separately. You then have to work out their combined meaning.

===German places whose names are also German verbs===
Yes, Germany has several places with this distinction, likely more than I've listed here (these are only incorporated centres). Come to that, it has at least one place whose name is a German preposition. This is [[Ohne, Germany|Ohne]], in case you're interested, whose name means "Without". Now, here are the verb-towns, complete with their translations:
*[[Bergen, Lower Saxony|Bergen]] — “to rescue, recover”
*[[Buchen]] — “to book”
*[[Clingen]] — “to sound” (although admittedly this is an archaic spelling)
*[[Erlangen]] — “to achieve, attain”
*[[Essen]] — “to eat”
*[[Gehren]] — “to bevel”
*[[Gießen]] — “to pour, cast”
*[[Langen, Cuxhaven|Langen]] — “to be sufficient”
*[[Langen, Hesse|Langen]] — (same)
*[[Laufen, Germany|Laufen]] — “to walk”
*[[Leimen (Baden)|Leimen]] — “to glue, cement”
*[[Lenzen]] — “to bail, pump out”
*[[Mengen, Germany|Mengen]] — “to mingle”
*[[Regen]] — “to bestir”
*[[Senden]] — “to send” (surprise!)
*[[Siegen]] — “to be victorious, win”
*[[Simmern]] — “to simmer” (surprise again!)
*[[Singen]] — “to sing” (bet you couldn’t guess)
*[[Süßen]] — “to sweeten”
*[[Weiden in der Oberpfalz|Weiden]] — “to graze, browse” 
*[[Werben (Elbe)|Werben]] — “to advertise”
*[[Wissen]] — “to know”

===German places with remarkably silly names===

=Spanish bullfighters=
[[File:AlmagroHype1939GotKilled.png|thumb|150px|Poster advertising an upcoming ''corrida''; the first bullfighter listed, Félix Almagro, got killed by a bull during the event.]]
I cannot quite remember how I got into it, but I have done quite a few articles about Spanish bullfighters, some being translations from the Spanish Wikipedia, and others being of my own creation, with the help of online resources. Others still were existing articles that I expanded.
*[[Félix Almagro]] (1907–1939) — has the unenviable distinction of being the first bullfighter to be killed at the [[Las Ventas]] bullring in [[Madrid]] (13 July 1939).
*[[Antoñete]] (1932–2011) — has a [[roundabout]] in Madrid named after him, [https://www.google.com/maps/@40.4823362,-3.6084832,298m/data=!3m1!1e3?hl=en&entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI0MTExNy4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D here].

*[[Chicuelo II]] (1929–1960) — killed at the age of 30, but in a [[Avianca Flight 671|plane crash]], not in a bullfight; no kin to the foregoing.

*[[Iván Fandiño]] (1980–2017) — killed by a bull even more recently than Barrio, but at a French bullring, not a Spanish one (17 June 2017 at [[Aire-sur-l'Adour]]).

*[[El Viti|Santiago Martín Sánchez]] (1938–{{0}}{{0}}{{0}}{{0}}) — known as "El Viti", holds the record for greatest number of rides on shoulders out through the Great Gate at Las Ventas (14&nbsp;— or 16, counting the two that he earned as a ''novillero'').
*[[José Martínez Limeño]] (1936–2015) — left bullfighting as a result of the consequences of [[whistleblowing]].
*[[Morenito de Aranda]] (1985–{{0}}{{0}}{{0}}{{0}}) — runs a bull ranch in [[Riaza]] called ''Toros de Castilla''.
*[[Cayetano Ordóñez]] (1904–1961) — A character in [[Ernest Hemingway]]'s book ''[[The Sun Also Rises]]'' was based on him (contribution limited to a photograph for the infobox).

*[[Pepe Luis Vázquez Silva]] (1957–2024) — unlike Aparicio, got 3 warnings at the Maestranza and the Miura bull was sent back to the pens (3 May 1991 at Seville).
*[[Andrés Vázquez (bullfighter)|Andrés Vázquez]] (1932–2022) — came out of the Great Gate at Las Ventas ten times.

=Geography and maps=
Perhaps you've noticed a "geographical" streak in those articles that I mentioned. As a traveller, I am very fond of geography (or has my love of geography made me interested in travelling? I'm not quite sure). To that end, I have made maps. Here come a few now (well actually, quite a number)………

If you would like to try your hand at making maps, for Wikipedia or other purposes, I also wholeheartedly recommend this link:

*[http://www.openstreetmap.org/ The '''''AMAZINGLY DAZZLING, STUPENDOUS, BOFFO, KNOCK-'EM-DEAD, NEVER-SAY-DIE''''' Open Street Map site]

The Outer Harbour East Headland/Leslie Street Spit map up above was made using this site. This site produces maps that can be freely used on Wikipedia. There used to be another one, called "OMC", but it has undergone somebody's idea of "improvements", and is now useless.

Happy mapmaking!

=Interesting articles=
[[File:Bouncywikilogo.gif|right]]
What follows is a selection of articles that I have found on Wikipedia – ''none'' started by me although I've edited a few – which struck me as odd, funny, extremely esoteric or arcane, or whatever. Here they are...........
<div style="text-align: center;">[[File:Optokinetic nystagmus.gif]][[File:Optokinetic nystagmus.gif]]</div>
#Inflation fetishism — (now deleted) Some people have some rather unwholesome preoccupations. At first, I believed the writer was pulling our legs, and I am still not thoroughly sure he isn't. It was not an article about [[sex doll]]s, by the way, but the idea of people inflating, if you can believe that.
#[[Corn dolly]] — Ah, but are they inflatable? <small>*ahem*</small> Excuse me.
#[[Doll Domination]] — Another unwholesome preoccupation?
#[[Mooresville, Missouri]] — Population: 89. Awesome.
#[[Jerome, Arkansas]] — Here's a place with 46 people that calls itself a "city". It also has an area of about 50&nbsp;ha.
#[[Illán de Vacas]] — Es el más pequeño municipio de España. En mi opinión, no vale la pena de mencionarlo. ¿Por qué hay un artículo sobre un lugar de ocho habitantes (o seis, según otra página)? '''''¡Noticia!''''' Ahora sólo queda un habitante. ¿Cuántos harán después de un año?
#[[Dierfeld]] — Diese Gemeinde in Rheinland-Pfalz hat nur acht Einwohner! Daneben sind die meisten Kuhdörfer Großstädte.
#[[Windhexe]] — Well I'll be blowed.
#[[Trim (cat)]] — Now how many cats go down in history?
#[[Stonecutters]] — A fictitious organization in a fictitious universe. Why is it worth noting in an article?!
#[[Cyniclons]] — I don't like anime; so what would I know about this? Well, apparently that writer doesn't know much about it either. '''''Update:''''' It has now been greatly expanded and the new title is List of ''Tokyo Mew Mew'' characters.
#Piss Beer — (now deleted) Leave it to the Aussies.
#[[Dickheads matches]] — Likewise.
#[[The CAS School, Karachi]] — If I had to give this a new title, I would choose '''How ''not'' to write a Wikipedia article'''. '''''Update:''''' It has been improved ever so slightly.
#[[Infernum]] — Have you ever heard of these guys? I hadn't, but I'm not much into the [[Warsaw]] music scene. I get the impression from the article that they never exactly made a splash in the world of popular music. Are they really worth an article?
#[[Chameleon Jail]] — Where naughty lizards get sent?
#[[Body nullification]] — Where Michael Jackson got his ideas?[[File:Mug and Torus morph.gif|right]]
#[[Centwine]] — Cheap plonk?
#[[Drag City]] — No doubt a lot of fun to visit if it suits one's tastes.
#[[Pussy, France]] — Likewise.
#[[Bitche]] — This as well.
#[[Saavedra position]] — Sounds naughty; the article says it was named after a Spanish priest.
#Beaver Machine — (now deleted) No clergyman involved here, but it still sounds naughty.
#[[River Piddle]] — Sounds idyllic.
#[[Barf (Lake District)]] — So does this.
#[[Wank, Bavaria|Wank]] — Positively charming.
#[[Cum fart]] — Only on Wikipedia, eh? Also interestingly, another article on a similar topic, called [[Vaginal flatulence]], is being considered for deletion. '''''Update:''''' The Vaginal flatulence article is apparently all right, but the Cum fart article has now been merged into [[Oral sex]], and this link will now redirect there.
#[[Green manure]] — Not as disgusting as it sounds.
#[[Iowa Cow War]] — Did they fight it with green manure?
#[[Butt plug]] — It's not about cigarette ends, I assure you.
#[[Ganja State University]] — Like, woooow, maaaaan … where do I sign up?
#[[Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster]] — Very encyclopaedic indeed.
#[[Porker Hogg]] — Not quite [[kosher]], I don't think.
#[[Seborga]] — Neither is this, but I suppose it brings tourists.
#[[Jerk]] — It's brainier than you might think.
#[[Cameltoe]] — But this sure as hell isn't.
#[[Golden Cross]] — Someone's favourite local?
#[[Sex bolt]] — A new toy?
#[[Joseph Carlton Loser]] — What a great name for a politician!
#[[Rinderkennzeichnungs- und Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz]] — Someone's trying to outdo me in the German concatenation department.
#[[Hollywood Left]] — Yeah, right. Celebrities are such brainless oaves they need a list.[[File:Mandel zoom 07 satellite.jpg|right|300px]]
#[[Mr Danger]] — It's apt, but I rather think it would have qualified as an entry on the '''List of political epithets''' or the '''List of pejorative political puns''' (which have both now been deleted, I notice), and not as an article. '''''Update:''''' It has now actually been expanded beyond one sentence.
#[[%C7%AE]] — This is weird. This article doesn't even have a visible title, at least not on my browser, and here, the title is a little box. I guess this computer's a bit out of date with regard to funny foreign characters.
#[[Diet of Worms]] — Sounds yummy. I wonder whether [[Martin Luther]] enjoyed it.
#[[Chocolate and Cheese]] — Sounds deelish.
#Buffalo Chips Running Club — (now deleted) That's a hell of a name.
#[[.mw]] — Well I'm glad I found out!
#[[Polish car number plates]] — Now here's something that'll appeal to a lot of readers.
#[[San Diego Yacht Club]] — Likewise.
#List of errors on Portuguese ex-Colonies stamps of Mozambique 1911 — (now deleted) Wikimedia was obviously worried that its servers would get overloaded, what with everyone busting to read this article.
#[[Nerd]] — A sociological exploration of ostracism from a rather interesting perspective, I thought.
#Carbon Defense League — And this is the kind of thing that nerds get into...and now out of (it's been deleted)
#[[Prat]] — Shouldn't this be merged into "Nerd"?
#[[Exploding animal]] — Unwholesome preoccupations, indeed!
#[[Ray Twinney]] — A dead mayor of a suburban town whose term in office came to an ignominious end as the [[RCMP]] laid various charges against him. He will soon be forgotten. Why is there an article about him?
#[[One of These Days]] — That's what many kept telling Ray!
#[[Twatt, Shetland|Twatt]] — We'll eradicate bad spelling on Wikipedia one day, I'm sure.
#[[Darwinian poetry]] — This is supposed to produce "intelligent" poetry.
#[[Southpark Mall (Colonial Heights, Virginia)]] — Some kid's favourite hangout?[[File:Lunar libration with phase2.gif|right]]
#[[Tai Mei Tuk]] — I have actually walked straight through this community and I didn't even realize it ''was'' a community. It is an utterly forgettable place. Why is there an article about it?
#[[explodingdog]] — I don't care what it takes! This has just got to stop!
#[[Toilets in Japan]] — and then there are other unwholesome preoccupations.
#[[The Amorous Flea]] — Does it like anything that inflates or explodes?
#[[Bach Aircraft]] — Wind, or perhaps Wing, on a G-String?
#[[Samuil Shatunovsky]] — It says he's a famous Ukrainian mathematician, and nothing else. There isn't even a Ukrainian interwiki link. I'm sure he was very famous...Well, it's been expanded a bit now&nbsp;— and there ''is'' now a Ukrainian interwiki link.
#[[Anti-Barney humor]] — This is quite a long article considering the kind of thing that it's about, which surely won't stay in vogue all that long (if it even still is among the few who practised it).
#[[Spirit duplicator]] — Oh good, we need more ghosts.
#[[Penis panic]] — People have actually been killed in this, believe it or not.
#[[Leisnig]] — A little hamlet that no-one's ever heard of.
#[[Roderich Fick]] — A German man whose last name is a German vulgarism. Interesting. Even more interesting is the article about [[Raschau]] that I have translated from German. It mentions several people with the surname Ficker, and yes, to find the English meaning, one need only change one letter.
#[[Fucking, Austria]] — Speaking of which...Aw! They changed the name to "Fugging" (2021)! 
#[[Petting, Germany]] — And this is right nearby, always.
#[[Kissing, Bavaria]] — As is this.
#[[Shitterton]] — Here's another place that got sick of having its roadsign stolen.

|style="vertical-align: top; border-top: 1px solid gray;" | I award this Barnstar to [[User:Kelisi|Kelisi]] for hard work making good maps. I just saw your [[:Image:Hebridesmap.png|map of the Hebrides]], and I was very impressed. Having worked with the same OMC program before myself, I can appreciate what a great amount of trouble you must have gone to to make that map so large, detailed, harmoniously coloured, interesting and informative.
