About Me

I welcome our new overlord OmegaWiki :-) The multilingual wiki dictionary. It is already so much better than Wiktionaries!

Find me at:

• Wikipedia IT
• OmegaWiki (interwiki OmegaWiki does not work yet)
• Wiktionary EN
• Wikibooks
• home page at the Particle-Solids Interactions group of the School of Physics, University of Johannesburg, South Africa.
• old home page at the Firenze Linux User Group
• old home page at CERN

On Wikipedia I'll try, (if I find time for it) to contribute to particle physics, in particular detectors and data acquisition systems. I would also like to translate pages to and from Italian, but first I want to put together something reasonable on the English side.

I also feel for User:Raymond_arritt/Expert_withdrawal and [Wikipedia:Expert_retention]]. While the pages I've been working on haven't been bitten by cranks or other fanatics, I have seen these attacks to real science far too often, and I really am displeased when I see the effort of knowledgeable people going to waste, on the fallacious ground that WP:NPOV should grant to "pseudoscience" (euphemism) the same rights of real science. I really do not want to abandon Wikipedia... but I'm looking with renewed interest to Citizendium.

Spam

For those who end up here wondering why I have removed a link they had added to a page, a few good reads:

• Wikipedia:WikiProject Spam
• User_talk:Shauny000 and User_talk:Shermanmonroe With plenty of good advice from User:Saxifrage, which led to understanding.
• WP:SPAM What Wikipedia considers SPAM
• WP:EL When external links are acceptable
• WP:CORP When a company is worth a page
• WP:NOT More generally, everything that WP is NOT meant to be.
