[edit] Short personal compendium

It is I as of 2008

Timeastor (pronounced IPA: [tɪmɪ`æstə]; Russian: Тимеàстор) is my real passport name. I am registered as Eate (IPA: [eɪ`a:teɪ]; Russian: Эàтэ) on Wiktionary. My country of residence is Russia, Tomsk. My native language is Russian. I am a linguist, a visual artist, a singer. Was born 1983. English is the language I have been speaking and loving for fifteen years by now, albeit I was not raised from my infancy with it. I shall appreciate all help from native speakers and non-native proficient speakers of English; to point out all doubtful or not optimal from their standpoint, moments in my messages and contributions. I normally prefer British spelling and grammar. I have no definite plans on either extensively editing this wonderful resourse for a long span of years, or vice versa, leaving immediately. I shall depend on major life circumstances, as we all must, obviously.

Am glad to be a part of something dynamically good.

[edit] Different

Am really not a master of formatting languages, even simple ones, and shall therefore confine myself to simple text basically, without a great number of cross-linking, images and other features, beautiful undoubtedly.)) (But as of Aug 18th 2007 I started to learn))

Thank you all for warm greetings. (be they thrice automatic))), still. (Here an intentional native language interference)

My sincere regards go to the regular "cleaners-up" of Wikipedia for making its articles meet the standards and look neat - a thing I unfortunately have no time for, it requires so much study of the guidance pages. And even if I learned all the standards, they would gradually slip out of my mind for rare use. After all I sometimes do not visit Wikipedia for months on end. Thank you, my good people, for cleaning after us lazy-bones.

I have noticed it is much easier to see someone else's mistake than one's own.

Let us then enlighten each other patiently!

All rules, standards and conventions of any language are relative since they change as time progresses. And while we should be consistent enough in our observing spelling, grammar and styles of our epoch to avoid total chaos, we should as well understand deep inside, how relative these things are and not be overly categorical.

To all administrators and users, watching over me: I am glad if I make you feel useful.)) Sincerely. No joke. I am happy to be in conflict with you. Confrontation is wonderful, as long as we stay mutually respectful in it.

[edit] Discussion

Have clearly learned from experience that online discussions, that is, text-only format discussions are irredeemably deficient in many ways. They unfortunately cannot display the emotional tone of the speaker, which is crucial in any discussion. Absence of live synchronic emotion too often leads to a misunderstanding of the purpose and mood of one's interlocutor. A discussion of an article in an open-content project such as this (where basically anyone can edit according to one's preferences, even though within commonly accepted rules), I say, such discussion is manifestly endless. I do not stand against it, after all, we are always on the move, but as for myself, I have decided once and for all not to engage in text-only format discussions with the only exception of extreme emergencies.

In case I make major contributions I ask all editors here not to be annoyed with my not participating in discussions on the respective pages. You can edit my articles all you like, I will not play the "undo-redo-undo" game.)) I will only submit the material once and maybe correct some minor things like typos and other obviosities.))

It is grieving myself, people, that I cannot become an "integral part of the community". I find it impossible for me for the aforementioned reasons. And I almost never check page histories.
