Thank you for visiting my user page. Most of my early editing activities related to articles on Hong Kong, the city where I was privileged to live in more than 15 years ago. Later I edited articles related to the COVID-19 pandemic; although, due to time constraints, in its later stages I largely limited myself to the article on the German government response. I sometimes also work on articles on the Russian invasion of Ukraine and human rights personalities in China, and those related to environmentalism in Germany and surrounding countries.

Apart from the above, my edits are to some degree of a random nature, sometimes following down the stream of cross-links. These edits are often very minor – perhaps this is due to my skill in picking typos (although, alas, I have doubts whether this includes my own writing, so please be wary and edit further where necessary).

I wish everyone a rewarding experience on Wikipedia, be it as reader (who I much agree with others should be at the center of the whole project), author/editor, page patroller, administrator, or any union of these roles. At the same time, I hope that the project will withstand those who try to attack its real or perceived weaknesses. Besides the eternal shortage of editors, I am thinking here of the tasks posed by subtle or not-so-subtle errors, and other issues, that would have made it almost easier to write everything from scratch in the first place. (A Wikipedia page that I hadn't been aware of when I wrote the previous statements, WP:DINC, makes a similar observation as to the result stated here, though not about the reason.) I hasten to add that I believe this situation hardly, if ever, occurs with constructive edits, even if these may have language flaws.
