User:Warrenmck

This account is not my first, and was created in part because of a fundamental misunderstanding on my part of WP:CLEANSTART. I have been active on Wikipedia since 2006 and am willing to provide the prior account information to administrators who may have reason to ask. This is the only account I use or even log into.

My current projects on Wikipedia: Science: Improve articles on important Lunar minerals. Improve discussions aronud Presolar grains for greater accessibility to inexpert readers, since those articles are often written in quite a dense manner. Improve specific articles on Lunar terranes and samples from Lunar and Martian meteorites and their associated mineral inventories.

I also substantially edit articles on historical linguistics topics, in particular trying to clean up the mess that has been our macrofamily articles. My knowledge of linguistics is lesser than my knowledge of geophysics and cosmochemistry and I try to acknowledge my limitations there by building consensus.

For clarity on the userbox: my publications are in geophysics and volcanology, not linguistics.

Useful pages:

Wikipedia:Please do not bite the newcomers (looking at you, FTN)
Wikipedia:Neutral point of view
Wikipedia:Fringe theories
Essjay controversy (I have expertise, but nobody should rely on that!)

I try to upload high-quality images relating to either remote places or scientific topics. A selection of my uploads is available below and a complete gallery can be found here: User:Warrenmck/Gallery

Fun fact: On upon a time I edited Wikipedia to provide the first readily-accessible correct rendering of the orthography of Ea-nāṣir, which resulted in the correct spelling being utilized in essentially all memes post-edit. I consider this to be my largest cultural footprint and it's hilariously silly to me.
