My wikipedia editing has a tendency of spreading: I started with writing a dozen of full-length articles on materials science, then moved to other topics, mostly for theDYKproject. These activities dragged me into reviewing articles (DYK,WP:GANand occasionallyWP:FAC) and eventually transformed me into a kind ofwikignome– going around thousands of articles, cleaning up formatting and vandalism, adding references and figures, fi xing typos and whatever caught my eye. As of 2014, most of my free time is taken by emergency matters like vandalism, though I still write short articles during calm hours.
Here are myDYKsandbarnstars.

I enjoy finding good pictures for wikipedia (uploaded many thousands) and improving them withGIMP,thus I spend a significant part of my wikitime atWikimedia Commons;I also draw crystal structures.

I use this username only on English Wikipedia,Wikimedia Commons,and very rarely on a few other relatedWikimedia Foundationwebsites. Any user pretending otherwise is a blatant impostor (example).
