Hello, this my webpage on Wikipedia. It contains some useful Wiki links (which are very useful to me) as well as a long list of articles to which I have made a major contribution, and which I'm checking once a while.
Area of interests include physics and mathematics (as I am a student for Bachelor degree in science), engineering, metal music and politics.
As an Israeli Jew I have added articles about Israel and fixed other articles - which had inaccuracies about Israel (misspelled names, unupdated information etc). Scope of the articles isn't limited to politics and the Israel-Palestinian conflict but also deals with the geography, history, culture, sports and science of Israel.
Currently I'm invesying more efforts on the domestic Wikipedia. It is developing very well, with great increase in Sciences (Mathematics and Physics) and Military technology articles.
Some favorite quotes:
- י " אם תרצו אין זו אגדה" –בנימין זאב תאודור הרצל
- י "ואהבת לרעך כמוך" –רבי עקיבא
- "If you will it -- it is no fairytale." - Benjamin Theodore Zeev Herzl
- "Love thy friend as you love yourself" - Rabbi Akiva
- “Gravity cannot be held responsible for people falling in love.” – Albert Einstein
- "We shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender." - Sir Winston Churchill
- "A man's true wealth is the good he does in the world." - Muhammad
- "One should always generalize.[Man muss immer generalisieren]." - Carl Gustav Jakob Jacobi
