User:Tobyc75

This user is busy in real life and may not respond swiftly to queries.

I have been editing since 2005, though my early edits were few and far between.

My interests are generally centered around Military History and German/Swiss History, and I do a bit of translating from time to time.

		The Swiss Barnstar of National Merit
		This barnstar is to show you my gratitude for your relentless dedication in expanding countless Switzerland-related articles, many of which remained stubs for years previous to your edits. I was particularly impressed by your work on Monteceneri, an article about a municipality created barely 3 months ago. Cheers!
