I live in China and as such I edit from behind a VPN. I often don't log in as it's often quicker that way.
I will still try to reply to messages occasionally. |

Hi, I'm Xania. I've been here at Wikibooks since 2005 (first edits as a registered user were 23 October 2006 though) and presently I'm an administrator and check user here so happy to help with whatever problems you may have.
My specialties are linguistics (Romance, Slavic and Celtic languages and Basque), history, European geography, culture and politics.
I help out here with removing vandalism and spam, checking books for grammar or spelling mistakes, categorizing books, improving Cookbook pages by adding links and metric units and working on several books which I created or have contributed to.
Some Wikibooks that I am currently working on:My Activity on Other Wikis:

Languages
I am an English language professional with experience teaching the language to native speakers and non-native speakers as well as developing materials for use by other teachers. I speak Italian and Polish to a reasonable degree. I also have a more limited knowledge of French, Spanish, Portuguese, Catalan, Basque, Slovene, Serbian / Croatian, Manx Gaelic, Georgian and Estonian.
My Basic 'Policies' on Wikibooks
I spend a lot of time fighting vandalism on Wikibooks. I am always willing to give people the benefit of the doubt but I have no tolerance for racism, homophobia or edits on a youth-targeted page which would be considered inappropriate.
Contact me
You can often find me on IRC using the username Xania:
- #wikibooksconnect
- Alternatively leave me a message on my talk page and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.
- ArchiXpress a website partly created by myself focusing on materials and products for designers and architects.
Useful Links
These are mainly a shortcut for pages that I commonly visit but which take forever to find because of the poor search feature on Wikibooks.
