I'm starting law school August 13, 2011, so I almost certainly won't have much time to spend here, except during breaks. However, this does not mean that the Global Warming anon is safe. In fact, I may reverted the edits which are not helpful, instead of just the ones which are harmful.

[edit] About me
I am presently an unemployed Aerospace Engineer and mathematician, and an under-employed tax preparer. I am attending Western State University College of Law, starting (in a sense) August 13, 2011.
Located 5 freeway exits north of Disneyland.
I am married, no children, 2 cats. See also http://www.linkedin.com/in/arthurrubin , Monster, CareerBuilder, http://www.epinions.com/user-arthur.rubin . I also contribute to a number of web sites under my real name.
[edit] Wiki-interests
- Concur with User:Miller17CU94//An open letter to Nancy Pelosi (sandbox version that was deleted on September 5, 2008) (at its present state). If the fairness doctrine were applied to the Internet, it would be a major step toward the United States becoming a police state.

The Barnstar of Diligence |
| In view of the abiding perspicacity of your always cogent contributions at WP:AfD, which have the effect not only of improving directly the project qua encyclopedia but also, inasmuch as they promote logical argumentation and civil and rational discourse, of improving indirectly the project qua evolving organism, you are surely well-deserving of this barnstar.

The Invisible Barnstar |
| In addition to being a good mathematician, you are a very good user. NHRHS2010 Talk 21:42, 4 October 2007 (UTC) |

The Epic Barnstar |
| For your contribution to the year articles Pro66 (talk) 21:51, 29 February 2008 (UTC) |
 |
|
The Special Barnstar |
| Even though the efforts to keep the Pelosi article on my user page were not successful, I am so thankful at least someone in Wikipedia other than Jimbo saw the light on this. As a result, I offer you this barnstar as a matter of thanks. Chris (talk) 19:07, 6 September 2008 (UTC) |

The Sewer Cover Barnstar |
| You have been awarded the Sewer Cover Barnstar because you can read through anything. You don’t know the meaning of attention deficit disorder, laugh in the face of boredom, and are wasting your talents if you don’t become a patent examiner. |
- I award this to you, Arthur Rubin, with humbleness and awe. You’ve done what I truly can not. Further, as you read through the 1925 article, you made improvements to the article, exhibiting the best of true Wikipedian spirit. Thanks. Greg L (talk) 00:57, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

The Barnstar of Diplomacy |
| I saw the tirade of abuse against you on the 2010 talk page. This Barnstar is recognition to you for keeping a cool head and not rising to the user's comments. For this, I commend you. AycliffeAngel (talk) 17:05, 13 April 2010 (UTC) |

[edit] Things I intend to look at
Vacation pictures....
In Nobel Prize, change "authorlink=#XXXXX" to "ref=harv=???"; (almost) all point to references, rather than to an actual link to the author; so it needs to change to whatever tag points the harvard reference to the bibiography. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 17:14, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
[edit] Things I watch from time to time
They may contain enough transcluded material that watching the page may not detect significant changes
[edit] Watch list
Over time, I'm going to move those users in my watchlist because I want to see their contributions over here. 13:53, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
- Dylan Flaherty (talk · contribs) Obviously some sort of trouble-maker.
- Elspec (talk · contribs) aka (see the history of Elspec Ltd., if it's still there) 199.203.94.97 (talk · contribs) adds references to Elspec Ltd. and the commercial site elspec-ltd.com not always in an appropriate manner.
- Adam M. Gadomski (talk · contribs) and 93.41.219.92 (talk · contribs) and links to erg4146.casaccia.enea.it seem to be links to a particular systemic theory, inserted into all articles where it might be appropriate.
- Seems inactive under those editor names, but still appears from time to time
- Overix (talk · contribs) may also have some similar characteristics.
- 218.133.184.53 (talk · contribs) 218.133.184.93 (talk · contribs) See User:WAREL, etc. 15:08, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
- Igni (talk · contribs) makes "grammatical" and "style" corrections in articles which seem (at least to me) to change the meaning, possibly due to a different understanding of the English language.
- GVnayR (talk · contribs)
- Links to aaft.com seem to mostly inappropriate, but I'll need to check them one by one.
- Active, but seems to be doing other things
- OregonD00d (talk · contribs) creating nonsense categories and templates.
- Added socks Tiramisoo (talk · contribs) (now considered primary) and GodivaCake (talk · contribs); also creating fad decade-related-redirects, without any rhyme or reason.
- 12george1 (talk · contribs) creating multiple subsections, mostly in tropical storm articles
- AndrewCrogonklol (talk · contribs) weird vandalism, including that of his block notice.
- Banned sock of banned user
- Voortle (talk · contribs) creating unnecessary articles, redirects, and sections in year and number articles. (I thought he'd gone.)
- Hemanshu (talk · contribs) damaging year articles; creating bizarre changes in month groupings, adding (usually improper) explanations for notability with almost always improper italization, adding Afro-xxx to nationality (often wrong, never appropriate)
- hopiakuta (talk · contribs) has some sort of screen-reading software which causes destruction of information when he tries to edit.
- Moshe2009 (talk · contribs) and 212.143.139.21 (talk · contribs)
- Pantelides algorithm for AfD consideration
- 81.214.68.90 (talk · contribs) adding interwiki links to non-existent tr.wikipedia articles.
[edit] Global warming / climate change
- current list (from 12 January 2012 or so) maintained at User:Arthur Rubin/IP list. Editors are welcome to add (but not subtract) from the list. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 15:42, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
- 99 anon (and 97.87.29.188 and 209.255.78.138, 108.73.115.71, 216.250.156.66 and possibly 24.11.21.141) adding easter eggs, inappropriate #See also and {{seealso}} links, and clearly inappropriate categories to many global-warming-related articles. Although "it" is clearly a single person on a floating IP, it seems not subject to 3RR. Style factors in favor of their being the same person include:
However, I am subject to 3RR, so I'm noting (some) of the articles in which they are adding this material. I suspect the only solution is to permanently semiprotect all climate change articles, broadly defined.
