Salutations!

I recently started editing Wikipedia, loving it so far.

I'm in civil engineering, but very interested in all things STEM. I'm fascinated by languages and hope to learn more throughout my life. I grew up in the US but went to a French-German trinational university, with the classes taught in french/german, so I can definitely edit articles/read sources in those languages, except for nuanced copyediting.

I follow international news and I'm very passionate about freely accessible good accurate information, and that knowing the original source of information is critical.

My favorite book is Jonathan Livingston Seagull by Richard Bach, but this is more of a pensive short story; I also love reading fantasy.

Happy editing! Feel free to talk to me on my talk page.

Picture of the day

The Apennine Colossus is a stone statue, approximately 11 metres (36 feet) tall, in the estate of Villa Demidoff (originally Villa di Pratolino) in Vaglia in Tuscany, Italy. A personification of the Apennine Mountains, the colossal figure was created by Giambologna, a Flemish-born Italian sculptor, in the late 1580s. The statue has the appearance of an elderly man crouched at the shore of a lake, squeezing the head of a sea monster through whose open mouth water originally emanated into the pond in front of the statue. The colossus is depicted naked, with stalactites in the thick beard and long hair to show the metamorphosis of man and mountain, blending his body with the surrounding nature. It is made of stone and plaster and the interior houses a series of chambers and caves on three levels. Initially, the back of the statue was protected by a structure resembling a cave, which was demolished around 1690 by the sculptor Giovanni Battista Foggini, who built a statue of a dragon to adorn the back of the colossus. The Italian sculptor Rinaldo Barbetti renovated the statue in 1876.Sculpture credit: Giambologna; photographed by Rhododendrites
