My Wikipedia history

For a rather long time, my main focus was on the German Wikipedia because that’s where my native language skills would help the best. My first edit there was on Oct 2, 2004. When the unified login was introduced in 2008, I suddenly found myself having an account here as well, while still mainly contributing elsewhere. I decided to make this my primary account in November 2020. Expect to see me in the version histories more regularly in the future.

Why I stopped contributing to the German Wikipedia

In Summer 2020, I decided to try my luck to become an administrator for the German Wikipedia, which was how I found out that there are a lot of emotions involved with the Wikipedia community. Given that I had been rather immature in some discussions when I still needed more experience, my candidacy received mixed comments, and after reading enough of them, I felt that my behavior there - unprofessional comments in discussions, deliberately trolling certain subjects, editing hot topics without seeking a consensus first - had angered enough people for a lifetime. Subsequently, I cancelled my candidacy and sent my account there into hibernation for a while.

Personality traits and future plans
Having been diagnosed with Asperger’s and sociopathy a few years ago, I understand most of the criticism. My increased activity on the English Wikipedia is my attempt at a restart. Let me try to contribute to this mostly useful project and let me know when I fail at basic human behavior. I’ll try my best to not disappoint you.

Article work

I usually edit IT articles and I sometimes contribute to music-related articles because those are the topics where I have the most sufficient knowledge as of today.

This user is a member of the Association of Wikipedians Who Dislike Making Broad Judgments About the Worthiness of a General Category of Article, and Who Are in Favor of the Deletion of Some Particularly Bad Articles, but That Doesn't Mean They Are Deletionists AWWDMBJAWGCAWAIFDSPBATDMTAD Est omnino difficile iudicare inclusionis meritum cuiusdam rei in encyclopædia cum ratio sciendi quid populi referat incerta sit, sed nihilominus aliquid encyclopædiam dedecet It is generally difficult to judge the worthiness of a particular topic for inclusion in an encyclopedia considering that there is no certain way to know what interests people, but some topics nevertheless are not fit for an encyclopedia. This motto reflects the desire of these Wikipedians to be reluctant, but not entirely unwilling, to remove articles from Wikipedia.
