THIS USER IS, FIRST AND FOREMOST, AN EDITOR



{|valign="top" style="border: 2px solid dimgray; background-color: #FFFFF3;" | I am a Mexican student who just obtained his Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry. For at least a couple years before signing up I had been mostly fixing spelling mistakes in Wikipedia. At some point I realised I was spending a significant amount of time in the site so I decided to create myself an account in April 2005.

I mainly edit topics related to Chemistry and Mexico, but I tend to hang around History and fencing articles too. However, I generally contribute towards anything that manages to grab my attention. I also do wiki housekeeping chores from time to time, of which cleanup receives most of my time.

I only peer review articles in areas and topics I know I will be able to give significant input beyond layout suggestions or superfluous comments. This requires me to be comfortably familiar with the subject and therefore limits the number of articles I am able to review. I try to make up for this by giving thorough feedback on each article, but whether or not I am able to do this successfully is left to others to judge.

As an editor I consider myself to be neither inclusionist nor deletionist. I believe each article should be judged on its own merits even if the subject seems ludicrous at a first glance. As a consequence I hang around articles for deletion with certain regularity too.

Some aspects of my work in Wikipedia

 * /10 random pages test. Here I list the results of the "10 random pages test" I run occassionally. Original idea by Ambi.
 * /FLC. Rationale of my common objections during Featured List Candidates nominations, and the precedent that has accumulated so far regarding featured list criteria.
 * /Structures. The settings I use for drawing high resolution chemical structures in ChemDraw. Based on Cacycle's settings, but slightly modified.
 * /FLC statistics. Random number crunching with FLC nominations

Random trivia
My username is a slight modification of the name of the Phantasy Star IV character Rune Walsh, probably the coolest wizard in the entire history of videogames.
