I am a chemist by training, with a Master's degree and varying amounts of experience in the fields of organometallic, environmental, analytical, and medicinal chemistry. I have worked in academia, industry, and in the non-profit world. Among other things, I am interested in pesticides, environmental contaminants, alternative energy, sustainability, and related issues. I am also interested in conservative movement—particularly its influence on public discourse.
I also am a poor speller, and an even poorer proofreader. My apologies in advance if you have to clean up my mistakes.
I am also a firm believer that what happens on wikipedia should stay on wikipedia, and vice versa. A key strength of the project is its transparency, and when editors conduct their wikipedia business off-wiki (via email, IRC, blogs, forums, wikipediareview, etc.) this transparency is compromised. Just as off wiki-canvassing for meat puppets is strongly discouraged because it disrupts the project, off wiki blogging about on-wikidrama is likely to do more harm to the project than good. It's unbecoming of an editor to stoke wikidrama while on wikipedia, and even even less becoming to fan flames off wiki.

Awesome Application of Boldness Barnstar I award this BarnstartoUser:Yilloslime for boldly making a great 20 word edit[1] that not only improves the article but will hopefully help to end an 8 month, 20,000+ word discussion about a Stephen Colbert quote. Nice work! --guyzero |
