User:Cadmium

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cadmium is an inorganic chemist who holds a PhD. I selected the name cadmium because it has interesting chemistry. For instance it is a metal which in someways is a transition metal and in other ways it is not a transition metal because its +2 oxidation state has a full d orbital. Also some of the other metals have already been used as usernames.

I have a great love of inorganic chemistry

BS detector

Please note that I am equipped with a BS detector, this will normally sound an alarm each time I am exposed to BS. The exact form and nature of a BS detector is an interesting topic. When I was doing my PhD I imagined that a BS detector would be a complex device with many control knobs, dials, and cables mounted in a 19 inch rack case. But one of the more senior staff stated that his BS detector is very small but very much more sensitive.

Humor

Along with this I do have a good sense of humor, a sense of humor is not finding anything funny as some things are about as funny as having all your teeth drilled by the dentist. But a sense of humor is the ability to see the funny side of life. I have a great love for the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy and for the meaning of life. The best bit in the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy is when deep thought is speaking.

Philosophy

I am not sure what philosophy I belong to but I think that I have a strong leaning towards M:inclusionism and M:eventualism. I think that many things can be harmed by killing them off at an early stage in their development. I think that it is better to keep some poor articles and then improve them than it is to just get rid of them. I make an BIG exception for nasty flames, trolling, patent nonsense and mean minded swearing/offensive stuff.

Edit count (for what it is worth !?!?)

If you wish to see how many edits I have been responsible (or irresponsible for ?) then please see my Usercount, but I am unsure of how valid a judgement of a editor's worth to the wikipedia community is if it is based on edit counts.

Barnstar

For your outstanding and balanced work in nuclear science topics, I hereby award you the coveted Atom Barnstar along with all the status and privileges that attend it --DV8 2XL 21:40, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

This was bestowed on me for my additions to the pages on nuclear and radioactive subjects, this is one of the areas to which I have made many additions. Note that the nuclei of atoms are so small that if you can see the nucleus then the atom would be vast, despite this dire error I have chosen to accept the award.
