I agree to release my text and image contributions, unless otherwise stated, into the public domain. Please be aware that other contributors might not do the same, so if you want to use my contributions under public domain terms, please check the multi-licensing guide.
Why do I release my contributions into the public domain? First of all, I don't want to cause trouble to people who want to re-use it, for whatever reason – the JPL Image Policy is an example of even a benign license that can cause much trouble. Secondly I think that we humans could have only achieved what we have today through the re-use of the ideas and resources created by other humans – my contributions may be humble, but even the Solar System was formed from dust particles.

This user may start things on Wikipedia, but will sometimes simply walk away from them – without giving an explanation.
The reasons for this are in small part inherent to Wikpedia; but in large part the reasons lie outside of Wikipedia. This user may consequently not respond to talk page messages or e-mails in a timely manner, or at all – your understanding would be greatly appreciated.
If you like something this user started, and if want this user to continue it, you are kindly invited to drop a short line on the user's talk page and remind the user. The user may however not be able to honor your request.
Furthermore this user must report that the user is sadly not interested in "social networking" (here or elsewhere), and that while the user will gladly exchange a few words with you, usually the user will stay away from major interactions with other users – so don't take it personally if this user leaves you alone. The user is just here to edit, if the user finds something to improve; which is too often the case… Alas, my cup, overflowth it does…
Thank you for your consideration.
I consider my userpage to be in part information about me, in part site-specificinstallation art – don't take it too serious. CAUTION: May Contain Irony.
I make all my edits in good faith, and if you revert my edits without giving a reason, then I have trouble assuming good faith at your end, and I will re-revert without hesitation.

This user has some faculties in the English and German languages that might be somewhat better than "basic" – but the user does not really consider those faculties to be "intermediate" nor "good".
This user is a proponent of both uncrewed and crewed spaceflight.
It is a sad fact that the last time humans did leave Earth behind was before the user's birth.
This user has looked at the best "evidence" for the supposed "Moon hoax" (to the point that the user now finds "Moon hoaxers" intellectually incredibly boring), and the user came to the conclusion that the Apollo Moon-landings did in fact happen as reported.
This user thinks Hubble's data from the Universe is amazing.
This user is a materialist and a naturalist, with the knowledge that everything that exists is matter, energy, space and time, governed by the laws of the natural world, and that nothing exists outside of that.
This user knows it's just an page – it doesn't mean what you think.
This user has been out of the world for a spell…
…would like to walk it a while.
This user thinks that any user should decide freely for themselves how many pieces of flair they want to display.
This user thinks that the copyright law has become a scourge of our societies, heavily favoring the large distributors over the individual creators and over society.
And while this user furthermore thinks that copyright law should be urgently reformed, this user fears that until then we should respect the law.
Do not press the button, ever – it will take you to strange places.
This user would prefer to be an enigma. Alas, I have written too much already…
