About me
[edit]I am a scientist and science historian with interests in volcanism, environmental chemistry, geology, and in natural hazards. I currently reside in the Western USA.
Here my alter ego though: Carboxen
My wiki statement
[edit]I am individually more interested in creating or correcting contents rather than formats. I am eternally greatful for the speedy minor wiki format corrections to my prior contributions by fellow wikiites! I am trying my best to get it as close as I can to proper wiki format (forgive my errors!) but I feel that my contributions may benefit more from my expertise in subject matters rather than formats.
Pages I created
[edit]uuuh... not soo many. I did a couple in the German Wikipedia though. Check for more soon!
created Template:VNUM, now outdated and superseded by a better template, but for over a year the only one we had!
- 02 November 2005 Volcanic gas (still as 68.231.48.106)

Pages I am supposedly (co-) watching
[edit]These are pages I am watching more than just for the occasional edit, I feel somewhat responsible for them but I am certainly not the only one nor do I have any "rights" on them - I just am especially interested in them. That doesn't mean I get to always be there when vandalism happens...
