As a person, I am an undergraduate linguistics researcher. My languages of interest include: English, Italian, Emiliano-Romagnolo, and Persian. My subjects of interest are Phonology, Phonotactics, Dialectology, Romance Ling, Historical Ling, Computational Ling, Lexicostatistics, and Cognitive Ling.

As a Wikipedian, I am primarily interested in editing pages associated with languages and linguistics. Linguistics, like other academic fields, contains individuals with many passionate opinions on the nature and theory of language. Wikipedia should not be a soapbox for the advocacy of a particular theory. However, I think it is important to present all existing theories so that people can make up their minds for themselves. It becomes tedious and cluttery in Wikipedia to present every theory on a topic with its own list of pros and cons, however sometimes it is important to understand the line of reasoning in which a theory is discredited in the gradual evolution of scientific knowledge.

Wikipedia has become the symbol of the 21st century age of information. In milliseconds a vast medium of free information is available to everyone. I want to contribute to wikipedia and participate in its gradual expansion.
