Hi! My name is Tommy Kronkvist. I'm a Swedish amateur ichthyologist born in Finland with a special interest in Nothobranchiinae (a type of killifish from Western and Eastern Africa), but also other types of egg-laying toothcarps, mainly from South America. Over the years I've been breeding about thirty different species of them.
I used to be the editor-in-chief of Aqua Upsaliensis, a monthly magazine focusing on marine life and fish farming active between 1965 and 2004. (Published by the Swedish aquarium organization Uppsala Akvarieförening, founded in my hometown Uppsala in 1935, and still active.)
Last but not least I'm also an administrator at Wikimedia Sverige, often abbreviated as WMSE. (verify)
(Since 2021.)
Please note that the above list is only an incomplete excerpt. My global account information for all of Wikimedia can be found here. It includes edit statistics and user-group rights for all of the 416 different Wikimedia sister projects where I'm currently registered. (I've only made edits to 152 of them.)
Non-Wikimedia but to some extent related services:
I'm the sole custodian of the official @Wikispecies Twitter account. (My personal account: @PixelHermit.)
I'm also registered at Phabricator,(user page) a development collaboration tool used for Wiki software development.
Personal Wikimedia Community milestones:
My first edit to Wikispecies was made back in May 29, 2005 when I created the user page you're reading right now. That was exactly two months after my very first Wikimedia edit in March 29 the same year, when I created the page Nothobranchius at the Swedish Wikipedia.
Thirteen years later (August 30, 2018) I created the Wikispecies page Danio tinwini which also constitutes as my 100,000th contribution to the Wikimedia community.
In May 2, 2023 I made my 300,000th edit to Wikimedia, when I created the article Siri (programvara) (i.e. about Apple's virtual assistant "Siri") at the Swedish Wikipedia.
In October 13, 2023 I created the page Leptotocinclus which was my 100,000th edit to Wikispecies.
Here's a few of my Wikimedia Commons images (click the pictures for larger versions):
