Herb Nieczuja - my CoA
Herb Nieczuja - my CoA
Halibutt (b. 1981) is a student, journalist and a proficient nitpicker. Since 2000 a student at the Spanish Studies Faculty, and since 2005 at the Faculty of Ethnology and Cultural Anthropology of the Warsaw University.

Some time ago I used to work for the Polish Press Agency, the ahoj.pl web portal (now dead) and some other businesses, including the Businessman Magazine, a Polish language monthly for... you guessed it, for businessmen. I joined the Polish Wikipedia on November 20, 2003, with a sense of a mission, but don't worry, I quickly grew up. A week later I joined the English wiki - for good, I hope. My main interests are history and linguistics, with focus on Central Europe and history of 20th century armed conflicts. Contrary to what you might think, I passed my Cambridge CAE exams and got an A grade, which theoretically entitles me to teach English language in Polish high schools. I'm a living proof that the British Council examination boards are often wrong... Please feel free to correct my mistakes.

As all other Poles I'm a fascist/ communist/ racist/ anti-Semite/ biased person/ revisionist/ philo-Semite/ Semite/ trouble user/ uncivilised barbarian/ nationalist/ placename fetishist/ German revisionist/ Polish pan/ Ukrainian nationalist/ Polish Nazi/ Nazi/ Slavic monkey/ native of Lower Dneper/ troll/ stupid slave/ Polish fascist/ chauvinist/ falsificator (sic!)/ slave/ immature schizophrenic/ cynic/ hypocrite... or at least that is how certain Wikipedians call me. I guess that's the price one has to pay for having one's own point of view and knowing enough historical sources to defend it. As a Jew I have several other "features", but it's not PC to state them loudly. Anyway, before you make any remarks on my nationality be sure to learn how to deal with Poles. If you want to learn more about me - take a look at my Babel templates at the talk page or feel free to ask.

Until January 13, 2007, I have made 26,205 contributions to the English wiki, including 14,314 edits to various articles [1]. During my brief stay at the Polish wiki I also made some 3858 contributions, including 2441 to articles. No, I'm not an admin of anything. By the way, my Wikipedioholic test shows some NPOV number of 329. I find it very strange.
