From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I'm taking a short wikibreak due to school and will be back on Wikipedia sometime down the road. Most likely, however, I won't be able to keep away from Wikipedia for that long, and I'll probably be back a lot earlier while making some small edits every so often.

[edit] Foreword

Hello World! My name is Kerem Özcan. I am Turkish, whatever that might mean. I have no sympathy towards any kind of racism/nationalism, though that doesn't stop that strange desire in me for yelling for my national team :)

Formerly known as Ombudsee, I edit in wikipedia since mid 2006. I can't really say that I made a huge contribution up until now, but rather some supportive minor changes, a few translations, and a little media contribution. My future plans include translation of English articles for the Turkish Wikipedia, while leaving a foot behind on the English Wikipedia by making minor edits and hopefully contributing more media.

I do not believe in one absolut truth, and that is (probably) the only single thing that I am certain about. This also constitutes the frame of all my beliefs and lifestyle.

May all of you enjoy your wikipedia-surf. Regards, Kerem Özcan

[edit] Significant Contributions

Maybe I should have written "the significant contribution" instead.
The Panorama I have taken in Hrant Dink's funeral made it all the way. Not only it became a featured picture, but also found a place on the main page as the picture of the day on June 8, 2007. I wouldn't forget to thank Diliff for the flawless picture stitching.
