Publishing is nothing new for me - although the writing of scientific articles is more difficult these publications are only intended for a limited number of readers (scientists and specialists of a certain scientific area). My intention for Wikipedia is to write articles in the area of biochemistry and chemistry, to improve already existing articles or if neccessary to correct them and I like the possibility to grant the broad publicity with coherent information. I will of course try to bring in need-to-know information about my neighbourhood (southern Styria, Austria) or my hobbies. Photos make articles more interesting and colourful - in this context I will try to accord the Wikipedia-community with many of them.
