ApisMeli thinks that Wikipedia is great, and will put text on this page when it is relevant to Wikipedia User Page standards. For now, the userboxes suffice to tell a bit about this user, even if they do make the page rather lopsided.

Why did I put down three languages for which I classified myself as having level-0 ability? The answer is, I love languages, and do a lot of "dabbling." It was actually hard to keep the list down to three, since I've played with so many, but Greek, Quenya, and Chinese are the three that I have studied to a not-quite-trivial degree, but still loo low to put down as a 1. It's even more complicated, since Greek I've studied both Ancient and Modern, and Chinese I've studied both Mandarin and Cantonese, but I thought instead of putting down five zeroes (grc-0 and yue-0), I thought that three was sufficient to cover all of them.

It would be nice if the levels could have decimal points. It would give my lesser-known languages a little more validity; "zh-.4" or "This user knows very little Quenya" make more sense than "0" and "does not know." Decimals would be useful for other levels as well; it can be hard to categorize all the complexities of language knowledge into seven slots. Admittedly, though, seven is more practical than seventy or even fourteen. . . .
