Robert Thorpe, born in London in 1950, living in Esposende, Portugal. I have a degree in English from Peterhouse, Cambridge. For many years I worked as a teacher of the language, in Mâcon, France (at a lycée agricole); Mondovì, Italy; Beckenham, England; and finally in various locations in Portugal, where my wife is a primary school teacher. I can translate from the relevant languages as well as from German and Latin.

I came across Citizendium when I looked in Wikipedia for the latter's history. There, I still occasionally do copyediting, and I have created a number of articles, including List of artworks known in English by a foreign title, which is virtually a solo effort. Nowadays on CZ I mostly copyedit random pages, which I don't normally include on the list here.
