[edit] Information request: Beer

Hello Sebastian,

I'm a University of Waterloo student, and my assignment is to track down the writers and several other facts from articles on "Beer", in different encyclopedias. I realize that everyone wrote this, but the form I have asks for a single author, so I decided on the person that started the article. I guess the only two facts I can't get from the article are your name (unless SebastianHelm is not a nickname... please excuse me if that is the case), and whether you are an expert on the topic.

I know this is an odd request, but you'll probably be getting it a lot... it might be a good idea to leave this post and your reply up for a few months at least. You see, because of extenuating circumstances, I was given the term's assignments early, but you're going to have at least a thousand other Waterloo students looking for the same information in a month or so. If all the information's there though, they likely won't bug you, we're generally a decent sort.

Thank you for your time,

Hmm, where do you get the information that I created the article? It was already there before I joined Wikipedia. But I'd like to help you with this, and I certainly want to avoid a thousand misguided questions. So, please, let me know. Oh, and by the way, I will not keep your message on my talk page for months. At Wikipedia, it is customary that people archive their old communication. But you're certainly free to keep the communication here as long as you want. Please just notify me after you replied here by clicking on this link and entering some nice words.

Thanks,
