From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Today's motto...
If Wikipedia has a lot of errors, so does every book I've read.
My full name is Brian Salter-Duke, although I was earlier called just Brian Duke, and it is with that name that I publish in scientific journals. I was born in Sheffield, England. I am a retired academic now living in Melbourne, Australia, where the time is 22:55 (AEST). I am still active in research in the fields of computational chemistry, theoretical chemistry and quantum chemistry. I am an author of the Valence Bond program, VB2000.
I contribute to Wikipedia in these areas of computational, theoretical and quantum chemistry. Other areas are other chemistry topics, including chemistry journals and chemist biographies, Australian topics and Scouting topics. See below for a list of articles I have created. Scattered about are many userboxes, which show where I am coming from and what I am doing on Wikipedia. They do not express my political or religious views.
I have made more than 12,000 edits, including over 120 new articles and over 5000 edits in the main article space.
I became on administrator on 16 August, 2007. I use an alternative account, User:Bduke second account, when I am on a less secure computer. Note that Bduke2 is not me. I am Bduke on IRC. I have an account on Scoutwiki, where I am also User:Bduke, and I am moving some material from here that is more appropriate there.

SHA-512 commitment to this user's real-life identity.
However User:Bduke on the Chinese Wikipedia is not me.

[edit] Article recovery
If you need access to a Wikipedia article that has been deleted, ask me. If it's not a copyright violation, libel, or personal information, and has not been deleted as a suspected WP:BLP violation, I will provide the text for you.
Note that using the text to recreate a deleted article automatically qualifies it for speedy deletion, and keeping deleted content hanging around in your userspace has gotten editors penalized before. But that's your problem.
