My Goal in Wikipedia
My goal in editing articles in Wikipedia, is to learn. I mostly surf through already created articles and try to correct the information posted there and add something to it. I am afraid that becasue of the popularity of Wikipedia, its turning into a platform for politicaly motivated users,nationalist, and vandals. In my opinion, the success of Wikipedia depends in how well those elements are stopped.

My interestes are:
 * Electronics
 * Histroy of Islamic science
 * Ancient and pre-modern Arab histroy

Science

 * Dynamic synchronous Transfer Mode - networking technology.
 * common switch interface(CSIX) - physical interface specification.
 * Gate delay
 * Transition time
 * Pierce oscillator
 * Supervisory circuit

WikiProjects

 * WikiProject Yemen
 * Greetings for new comers

 * List of Arab scientists and scholars - Still misses alot of names.
 * Kitab al-Aghani(Book of Songs) - a 9th century book of poems and songs.
