I'm '''Dan''' and I'm a [[Tolkienists|tolkienist]] from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweden Sweden], and a new member of this website and community.

I have a particulair interest in Tolkien genealogies and a possible creation of a [[Tolkien Gateway:Projects#Genealogy|Tolkien Gateway Genealogy Project]].
==About Me==
Formerly working as shepherd, elephant trainer and freelancing consultant for Zoos and Circuses in ten countries and three continents for over 40 years, I am now more into documenting captive elephants, their genealogy, and the dying culture of classical animal training on my website [http://www.elephant.se/ www.elephant.se] which has developed into the world largest elephant database in the world. I also like aquariums, and Im chairman in SARF, the Swedish national [[Wikipedia:Umbrella organization|Umbrella organization]] for aquarium fish societies. I guess animals, Zoology and [[Wikipedia:Linnaean taxonomy|Linnean Taxonomy]] led me into a keen interest of classification.

I have been a member of the different Wikimeda websites and communities for over fifteen years with a total contribution of [[Wikipedia:Special:CentralAuth/Dan_Koehl|almost 175 000 edits]], patroller on [[Wikipedia:English_Wikipedia|English Wikipedia]], [[Wikipedia:Wikimedia_Commons|Wikimedia Commons]], and admin on Swedish [[Wikipedia:Wikivoyage|Wikivoyage]] and [[Wikipedia:Wikispecies|Wikispecies]], a comprehensive free content catalogue of all [[Wikipedia:species|species]]. I have a lot of experience with [[Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser|AutoWikiBrowser (often abbreviated AWB)]], a semi-automated MediaWiki editor designed to make tedious or repetitive editing tasks quicker and easier and also some experience with [[Wikipedia:Software agent|bots]].

I enjoy learning about Scandinavian history and reading prime sources like [[Wikipedia:Tacitus|Tacitus]], [[Wikipedia:Jordanes|Jordanes]] and [[Wikipedia:Sagas of Icelanders|Icelandic sagas]].

I'm also a fan of travelling, and lived for several years abroad in Austria, Cambodia, Germany and Zimbabwe.
