My name is Kåre Thor Olsen (Kaare) and I'm from the Danish language edition of Wikipedia, where you'll find my most up-to-date user page. At the Danish wikipedia, I'm an editor, bureaucrat, checkuser, and OTRS mail-answering person (info-da queue).
Here on Meta I primarily do translations of project wide texts to Danish, and, time permitting, additionally cross-wiki spam fighting.
I'm also a spam and vandal fighting administrator on the sadly tiny Kalaallisut (Greenlandic) language edition of Wikipedia. I don't understand the Kalaallisut language, but neither does the spammers and vandals.
I have a small number of contributions, mostly manual interwiki additions, in a wide range of other Wikipedia projects, especially in Swedish, English, German and Norwegian bokmål. Also, on Commons, you'll find a number of my pictures.
It is difficult to define linguistic skills within the Babel system, so except for Danish (obviously) mine are based on feelings rather than grades, as I don't have any recent grades, and not for all of the languages.
With an imaginary Babel system suited to my needs, split up in a reading and a writing section, my skills would be something like:

People tend to over-estimate their skills in English, most likely I do as well
|
| Norwegian bokmål
|

Reading may be better - basically, bokmål is Danish spelled poorly :-)
|
| Swedish
|
sv-2
|

|

I find that it is possible to write in Swedish, with some trouble
|
| German
|
de-2
|
de-4
|

|
If it weren't for the grammar (de-1), writing would be de-3
|
| Norwegian nynorsk
|
nn-1
|
nn-2
|
nn-0
|
Reading may be better - haven't "exposed" myself to much nynorsk, have never attempted to write in it
|
| Spanish

Like the language, but lack the time (shame on you, Wikipedia!) to learn more
