[edit] 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
