This Wikipedian joined Wikipedia on January 31, 2005 (19 years, 4 months, 1 week and 6 days ago).

My name is Peter Isotalo. I was born in Moscow in 1980 and currently live in Bandhagen, a suburb of Stockholm. I have a bachelor's degree with a major in history. I've also studied Chinese, linguistics and ethnology, all at Stockholm University (SU). I have the equivalent of a Swedish master's degree in archival science from SU.

I mostly work on history-related articles, but have ventured into other areas within the humanities, with occasional forays into other topics.

I have been active on Wikipedia since January 2005.

ships, language and cuisine in history
Thank you, Peter, for using your advanced language skills for quality articles on history, such as Kronan, Swedish language and Medieval cuisine, for fighting vandalism and raising understanding for the Swedish Wikipedia, - you are an awesome Wikipedian!

Happy Saint Lucia's day!

"Good Morning" Peter Isotalo:
Thanks for all of your contributions to improve Wikipedia!
13 December is the day when Swedes perplex the rest of the world by showing up way too early in the morning dressed in white tunics, candles in their hair, singing and bringing saffron buns and breakfast in bed to nice people. Hope you have a bright day!

Quotes

It is the nature of man to build the most complicated cage of rules and regulations in which to trap himself, and then, with equal ingenuity and zest, to bend his brain to the problem of wriggling triumphantly out again.

— Barbara Henisch, Fast and Feast: Food in Medieval Society

What the... That's like asking a flock of gulls about where to find something to eat!

— Swedish satirist Jan Berglin about the fact that Wikipedia is written by its own readers

The foundation of this website is to allow all the world's know-it-alls to meet in an ever-lasting joust where everyone is a winner; the know-it-alls can satisfy their self-importance by writing about what they know, everyone else get to share in their knowledge when they feel like it, and neither is forced to socialize.
