User:AxelBoldt
My name is Axel Boldt and I teach mathematics at Metropolitan State University in Saint Paul, Minnesota. In addition to mathematics, I'm interested in molecular biology, theoretical computer science, physics, astronomy, free software, (political) philosophy, chess, and many other things. My home page is at math-www.uni-paderborn.de/~axel/.
Since I believe that "intellectual property rights" do not exist (as we mere mortals cannot arrogate the right to own parts of Plato's eternal heaven of ideas), every word I write is by default, and always, in the public domain.

Wikipedia writings
[edit]- I oppose the image filter proposal.
- I am against advertisements on Wikipedia.
- I think that Wikipedia would be much improved if only people who have provided their real name were allowed to edit the encyclopedia. See real name proposal for the details.
- Adding references to statements in Wikipedia, while useful, does not increase the trustworthiness of the encyclopedia. See References don't increase Wikipedia's reliability.
- My list of usability problems in Wikipedia, partly addressed by the usability initiative of 2010.
- I have access to electronic archives of most newspapers, magazines and scientific journals. If you need an article, email me and I'll send it to you.
Let's switch to the CC-BY-SA license.Done!- Notes for a talk about Wikipedia I gave in 2006: Wikipedia Talk.
- How to let go and prevent burnout as a Wikipedia editor: An article is a collection of revisions.

Brewcrewer, a newpage patroller, rarely comes across any great new articles, but when he does, like the Solingen arson attack of 1993, he can't help but plaster its creator's talk page with a barnstar. brewcrewer (yada, yada) 04:52, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
