Users by language

I, Achird, am mostly active at Swedish Wikipedia. I work as an archaeologist and exhibition designer at Falbygdens museum in the province of Västergötland in Sweden. My main interests are Archaeology, Norse paganism/Norse mythology, and Progressive rock. Mediaeval churches and my local area Västergötland are also of interest. I also like to collect old maps and to draw maps. I usualy work with the subcategories of Category:Archaeological monuments in Sweden, Category:Archaeological finds from Sweden, Category:Hundreds of Sweden, and Category:Civil parishes of Sweden. If you want to know more about me and my interests you can check my user page in Swedish. I have taken at least 55,000 photos since 1989, but just the latest few years with a digital camera. I wish I had more time to find the most valuable of them, scan them, retouch them, and upload them here. Most of the photos I have uploaded are retouched in ways of sharpening, contrast change, and colour adjustment.

For those of my pictures released with the CC BY-SA 3.0 licence I would be glad if my name is mentioned when the pictures are used.

The Name Achird [edit]

Star map showing Cassiopeia and Achird.

Achird is the name of the star system Eta Cassiopeiae. In 1984 I started to write a novel with heavy influences of fantasy and science fiction. This story happened on a fictive extrasolar planet orbiting the sunlike star Achird A. Later on I started to use the name Achird as an alias at Internet.
