Who am I? |
|
I have a wide field of interests and I try to improve on articles that belong to subjects that I am interested in. Since most articles on early Scandinavian history, culture, legend and myth are still underdeveloped I spend quite some time trying to improve them.
The name Berig is taken because it is a short and simple name, and because of my interest in early legend and myth. He was a legendary king.
I live in Scandinavia, and I have a PhD.

Your work rocks |
| Berig, I find more and more of your work as I go along, following links and reading. You have been incredibly productive lately! All your contributions about runestones are amazing--So here's a pic of cheer for you: You rock. And at the same time: here's to all those who are rock steady contributors, rocks to hold on to in stormy weather, those standing on rock firm ground in their knowledge of a subject (and who often land between a rock and a hard place because of it on Wikipedia). ;) Pia 00:01, 20 January 2007 (UTC) |
