About me:

• I have a doctorate in Physical Chemistry, and I write mostly about Chemistry, Physics, theoretical physics, nuclear energy, nuclear submarines, nuclear weapons, chemical weapons, batteries, pharmacology, scientometrics, Comparative linguistics, comparative law and patent law(suits), i.e. things I work(ed) with on a daily basis.
• I am multilingual, but I usually write in English or translate from other languages to English.
• In the interpretation of law I am a staunch supporter of purposivism.
• I find enumerated lists more suitable for human perception and memorizing, than so-called "prose" enforced on wiki. Does this make me a poet or just anti-prozac (pun intended)?
• I believe, that both wiki-deletionists and wiki-inclusionists are wrong, and the only right policy is wiki-improvementism : when you see a bad edit-do not delete it or leave it as it is. Instead- make it better. If you cannot make it better, mark the text for others to improve. If the article is getting too long, carve smaller articles out of it. Also, if you have an impulse to delete - read this first: Chesterton fence .
• I have access to several subscription databases, and I can help other wikipedians via Resource Exchange. Also, I want to draw your attention to this fantastic FREE database The Lens, which has a larger coverage and a superior search syntax, than Scopus and Web of Science combined.
• After years of being a wiki-hobbit my editing style is metamorphosing into a wiki-dragon. Yes, the previously unknown larval stage of wiki-dragons turned out to be a wiki-hobbit (perhaps along with other possibilities).
• I've been with Wikipedia long enough to learn, that "All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others."
