WikiDefcon WikiDefcon 4: Low to normal levels of vandalism from shared IPs and experimenting users. [[edit]] Vandalism levels back to normal. CAT:CSD still backlogged. -- Hdt83 Chat 06:24, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

I am a graduate of the University of Rochester in Rochester, New York. I have a bachelors degree in biomedical engineering with a concentration in cell and tissue engineering. I also have a minor in chemical engineering. Some of my primary interests are in biotechnology and bioengineering. Most of my activity on Wikipedia involves these subjects. I work in the fields of patent law, engineering, research and development.

[edit] Association of Members' Advocates

I'm trying my hand at doing more to help resolve disputes on Wikipedia. I mean, can't we all just get along?

[edit] Pet peeves

• I have strong feelings on people shamelessly promoting their universities on general articles. You can put accolades (to a limited degree) on the university's article, but don't put it all over the place...it's just annoying.
• I have recently developed strong feelings about people who shamelessly create articles about themselves...just as annoying.
• In general, POV-pushing, sock puppet-using, edit war-starting, uncivil, consensus-ignoring TROLLS! There's more...but these have been my latest bugs.
• People who think calling everyone a racist is a justification for doing whatever they want.

[edit] Wikipedia projects

• University of Rochester - my alma mater...I've revamped the entire article and added a lot of material. Hoping to get it up to at least good article specs, but I could use some help, especially on the history section. I also police the articles on and relating to UR almost religiously...it would be religious, but I'm agnostic:-P.
  • created Template:UR, pages for Rush Rhees Library, University of Rochester College of Arts Sciences and Engineering, The Institute of Optics, University of Rochester Medical Center and others.
  • added several of my own photos of UR.
• Bioengineering, Biomedical engineering and Wikipedia:WikiProject Chemical and Bio Engineering - my main area(s) of study in college. I try to work on the main general articles to improve the comprehensiveness, NPOV and I would particularly like to see the BME page become a featured article.
  • created page for Robert S. Langer, since he's a BME god.
• Various articles relating to biochemistry and molecular biology, specifically transcriptional regulation by certain types of transcription factors - stuff I did a lot of research on (reading research and laboratory/original research).
  • Hypoxia inducible factor (HIF)
  • Circadian clock genes (e.g. BMAL-1, Clock, Per, Cry)
  • Basic-helix-loop-helix (bHLH) family
• Patent law - my current area of profession.
  • created Patent scientist.
