Biography
I am an academic who dabbles in coding, electronics, and bizzare design challenges when not haunting the university scaring undergrads.
Hobbies include reading fiction and non-fiction, contemplating math and physics problems, karate, and pencil-and-paper role-playing games.
I am currently a PhD student at York University (http://www.cs.yorku.ca), Toronto, Canada.
I am a developer with the ArdReil (http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/ardreil/) project on SourceForge, producing an open source clone of the DOS game "Anacreon".
My contributions to Wikipedia primarily involve computer games and physics.
Pseudoscience Windmill-Tilting
One of my hobbies recently has been to stem the proliferation of pseudoscience pages on Wikipedia. Attempting to delete the pages tends to fail for pseudoscience that's well-enough publicized to be Notable. Whether deletion succeeds or fails, adherents of the pseudoscience in question tend to find ways to return it to Wikipedia. Instead, I try to produce Neutral Point of View articles that accurately summarize the pseudoscience's core tenets (satisfying its supporters), while making clear its departures from mainstream science (satisfying its detractors).
