Wow, I'm impressed. Mine is en5, fr0.3 and 0.01 for an assortment of
languages in which I can order a beer. Which I suspect is the other
typical Wikimedian language profile.
And I'm not sure even about the en5. In Wikimedia terms does anyone
really qualify as en5 unless they are bilingual in
Alternatively, en-5 may be used to describe someone like me whose mother
tongue isn't actually English (I was brought up in Hong Kong speaking
Cantonese), but speaks with native fluency and a professional application (I
teach Chinese immigrants English - a language teacher is a typical level-5
Hmmm... That's interesting. According to the criterion Deryck Chan mentioned,
I'm he-5, en-5, ar-5, fr-3 and es-2. In various occasions I was a teacher of
he, en and ar, but I always write ar-3 because I can read and write quite
easily though my speech fluency needs some improvement...
I think Kim was originally referring to the registration form.
Personally, I don't think it is a big issue, and suggest that Kim takes a
pencil with him to edit his badge on the spot ;)

Yeah, I wasn't sure what they needed the data
I couldn't actually enter my language matrix properly , so I've just set mother
langauge to english (because it requires me to set
SOMETHING) and left it at that. Also, there's not enough boxes.
My actual matrix is nl5, en5, de3, fr1, la1 ... not even that atypical for a
wikimedian!
