Hello! I'm Elonka Dunin. I am a writer, game developer, cryptologist, webmistress, public speaker, world-traveller, and appreciator of all kinds of different subcultures. :)
I've had a Misplaced Pages account since September 16, 2005, and made my 1000th edit on January 19, 2006. As of May, 2007, I have created or substantially expanded about 200 Misplaced Pages articles, and have made about 29,000 edits, which I guess puts me somewhere in the top 250 of active Wikipedians. I was nominated for adminship in October 2006, and got a majority in support, but not quite enough to be deemed "consensus." I hope to be nominated again at some point.
Much of my time is spent either writing/improving articles, or working on some of the above WikiProjects. I also occasionally help out at some of the other language Wikis (see my list at left), but mostly I spend time in the English Misplaced Pages. I especially enjoy helping out with categorization, trying to ensure that every single article either has a category, or is at least flagged as needing one.
Of the articles that I've written or expanded, the ones that I am most proud of include: Template:FAstar Knights Templar, SS Kronprinz Wilhelm, Alfred Niezychowski, Saint Raphael Kalinowski, Eric Bloom, Dan Brown, Rennes-le-Château, Henry Lincoln, August Czartoryski, and Ed Bradley.
For my day job, I'm a professional game developer working in St. Charles, Missouri, and a published author. My book The Mammoth Book of Secret Codes and Cryptograms was published internationally in early 2006. As a hobby, I maintain some popular websites on the subject of cryptography, especially famous unsolved codes and the CIA's Kryptos sculpture, and I show up on TV or in the news every so often. I'm also a public speaker, usually giving talks on the subjects of games, Misplaced Pages, or cryptography.
Misplaced Pages is currently my #1 hobby, and I can't seem to get enough of writing articles and helping behind-the-scenes. :) I think Misplaced Pages is an amazing concept that is going to continue to grow quite rapidly. I often scan through the new articles that are flowing in at a rate of thousands per day, and I'm humbled by the sheer quantity of information that's accumulating in this massive project. I am very proud to be a part of it.
