• maybe some others
• Also I've splitted away some articles like Big O anime, Class in object-oriented programming, Mathematical class and Viz.
• I modified a lot of articles, but I won't list them, 'cause I don't remember half of them.
• / Talk and # REDIRECT pages started by me are not included on the list.

I also added images to following articles (I made most of these images for Polish wikipedia, they are public domain):

• Acetone (acetone)
• Acetylene (ethine)
• Alkane (ethan, propane, n-butane, isobutane, cyclobutane)
• Alkene (ethene)
• Alkyne (ethine)
• Allene (plopyl allene)
• Amine (primary, secondary and tertiary amines, ammonia)
• Ammonia (ammonia)
• Aromatic hydrocarbon (benzene, toluene)
• Carbohydrate (glucose, fructose, ribose, deoxyribose)
• Diene (1,3-butadiene)
• Ester (ester, esterification, ester decomposition)
• Ethene (ethene)
• Heroin (heroin)
• Ketone (ketone group, acetone)
• Morphine (morphine)
• There are more images I made for wikipedia - complete list is on [my page on Polish wikipedia] in directory http://rozeta.wiki.com.pl/img/taw/
• If you want image of chemical compound, list it here.
  • (place for requests for chemical compounds)

Of course starting articles isn't main form of contribution on Wikipedia.

Rules I proposed:

• Allways fill Summary field
• Allways list homepage of person or organization article is about

I'm generally for Scentific Point of View, which sometimes, but not very often, is in comflict with Strictly Neutral Point of View.

I'm also very annoyed by links like this: [ [ X ] ] s, and I often change them to correct [ [ X | Xs ] ].

The Proposal

Immediately before replying to emotional subject, one should make useful neutral contribution to wikipedia, like starting or editing an article

It's impossible and useless to stop people from emotional discussions.

I think that human emotions should be exploited by such informal standard. It may also temperate disucssion, as people won't reply immediately after they got angry.

I hereby promise to more or less satisfy this Proposal, even if I were the only one who do it.

• Taw (See Glycine, Collagen, Pokemon and others)
• Jimbo Wales, especially I will do this before arguing with The Cunc. I promise. It's a great idea.
• WojPob
• sodium who rapidly sees what little spare time he has diffusing away :)
• Ed Poor, hoping this will reduce friction with scientists and others regarding controversial topics.

If you want to thank Taw for some contribution?

Well, that certainly wasn't my idea. Anyway Little guru wanted to thank me for my contribution to Fundamental dimensions article. If someone else also wants to thank me, do it here. But again, it wasn't my idea.
