I am a Wikimedia volunteer from Belgium since 2005. I am cofounder and board member of Wikimedia Belgium. I am heavily involved in Belgian WikiProjects organised by Belgian libraries, achives, museums, heritage institutions, universities and highschools, that are coordinated and supported by Wikimedia Belgium. I am running a bot User:GeertivpBot. In my work on Wikimedia projects, I adhere to strict rules of correctness, completeness, and simplicity.
