Hello, I'm a moderately active Wikipedia editor specializing in history, physics, and mathematics, with graduate-level experience in all three areas. Please excuse the lateness of my replies to your comments, as I log in erratically, as you can see from my contribution history.

My historical interests include the history of philosophy, science, and religion in medieval and early modern Europe, as well as the politics of the modern Middle East. In physics, my past emphasis was on experimental particle physics, but lately I've come to appreciate theoretical and mathematical questions in statistical mechanics and quantum mechanics. This meshes nicely with my mathematical interests, which focus on probability, statistics and combinatorics, though I'm also interested in mathematical logic and set theory. I am self-taught in philosophy, much of this knowledge being an outgrowth of my study of European history.
My edits usually focus on adding or correcting factual content, as I don't really have time to engage in POV or relevance disputes. I usually explain my edits in the edit summary, using the talk page only when more than a line of justification seems necessary. Since I only edit Wikipedia in my spare time, I'm not really protective of my edits. I'm content to point out a problem, and if people opt for a different solution, that's fine.
The best way to communicate with me is through my user talk page, as I only infrequently check my past edits. I search for articles to edit rather haphazardly, so if you know of an article where I might be of help, please let me know.
Although I try to be "apolitical" in editing, there are a couple of issues that are of concern to me:
