[edit] Editing Philosophy

• Cite everything you can, and do not delete someone else's cited information unless you have a better citation. Books and articles are better than internet sources for this - take advantage of them.

• I fundamentally diasgree with Wikipedia policy WP:ENGLISH that states that an article's title should be the most commonly used English name, regardless of the correct name. If Wikipedia is meant to educate, than articles should use the correct, local name of something rather than an ad hoc translation for English speakers.

• Don't feed the troll. (I am guilty of this more often than not.)
