About me
Hi! I have been contributing to Wikipedia since 2004/03/06. With over 52,000 edits to date, and more than 6 years of service, I am a Master Editor, i.e. one of the Top 40 Wikipedians in seniority and edit count combined.
I created more than 1,200 articles, and I brought 8 articles which I created or unstubbed to "Featured Article" status ( Boshin War, Imperial Japanese Navy, Hasekura Tsunenaga, Indo-Greek Kingdom, History of Buddhism etc...). I am also among the Top 30 creators of Did you know? articles. On Wikipedia Commons, I have contributed about 3,000 images and photographs from Museums and places around the world.
My main interests revolve around World History and cultural interaction through the Ages, and I enjoy developing content on these subjects. I tend to focus on trans-national phenomena, "connection" history between civilizations, and the role of non-European civilizations in world history. I am a fervent supporter of Wikipedia:NPOV policy, according to which all significant views should be presented in articles (not just arbitrarily defined "majority" views), and an inclusionist who feels that all true information, however seemingly minute, does belong to an encyclopedia that aims at being "the sum of all knowledge".
My top 25 mainspace article edits fairly reflect my interests for multi-cultural subjects through the ages: Franco-Mongol alliance - 1238 edits Indo-Greek Kingdom - 1228 edits (former ) Imperial Japanese Navy - 447 edits ( ) Boshin War - 324 edits ( ) Hasekura Tsunenaga - 270 edits ( ) Indo-Scythians - 263 edits Western Satraps - 209 edits Kushan Empire - 197 edits Rangaku - 193 edits Greco-Bactrian Kingdom - 191 edits Greco-Buddhism - 176 edits (former ) Satavahana - 172 edits Franco-Thai relations - 166 edits France-Japan relations (19th century) - 164 edits History of Buddhism - 148 edits (former ) Maurya Empire - 141 edits Menander I - 140 edits Indo-Parthian Kingdom - 122 edits Greco-Buddhist art - 117 edits (former ) Bakumatsu - 104 edits Ai-Khanoum - 103 edits Chandragupta Maurya - 101 edits Kanishka - 95 edits Battleship - 95 edits Aircraft carrier - 93 edits

List of Wikipedians by number of DYKs
Some users seem to be particularly fond of litigation, disputes and "Wikilawyering". I've encountered a few such cases, the most recent one being when I created the Franco-Mongol alliance article (back in August 2007). It is a great subject, which I am passionnate about, and which is very much in sync with my general interest for cultural interaction thoughout history. I do like this kind of fascinating, instances of cultural interaction (see also Indo-Greeks, Boshin War, Hasekura Tsunenaga, Christianity among the Mongols, Sino-Roman relations, Roman trade with India etc...), and I generally can spend quite some time and research to document such subjects.
A few of these subjects sometimes seem to be quite annoying or contentious with some users however, possibly out of nationalistic or religious sensitivities, leading to heated discussions which may degenerate into nasty attacks ("Ancient Greeks invading India?!" "Crusaders allying with Mongols?!" "Interactions between Christianity and Buddhism?!"). Sometimes, things seem to never end, and multiple diatribes can keep being posted on various Talk and User pages for a long time. Some users might try to misrepresent my edits, accuse me of giving undue weight to certain authors or theories or of misrepresenting some others, generally try to discredit my contributions and viciously attack me through various instances, but I can certify that all my edits are, and have always been done, in good faith (a fact which has been recognized by the community), and my only objective is to contribute as much knowledge as possible to Wikipedia. I've always tried to remain as composed and civil as I could, even when I found the attacks, or their outcome, to be quite outrageous and unfair.
Inspite of such nasty disputes, I am proud that I have been able (and encouraged) to actively keep contributing, with as a result great new articles about cultural interaction such as France-Japan relations (19th century), France-Thailand relations, Japan-Thailand relations, Siamese revolution (1688) etc...
What the heck? I'm here to share knowledge and contribute fascinating, referenced, stuff about ancient history and cultural interaction. On the other hand, I must say I am not at all interested in Wikipedia politics or lobbying day long against specific users.
Best regards to all and Long Live Wikipedia!

The threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth—that is, whether readers are able to check that material added to Wikipedia already has been published by a reliable source, not whether we think it is true. Editors should provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is challenged or is likely to be challenged, or the material may be removed.
Life is like walking along a long road shouldering a heavy load; there is no need to hurry.
One who treats difficulties as the normal state of affairs will never be discontented.
Patience is the source of eternal peace; treat anger as an enemy.
Harm will befall one who knows only success and has never experienced failure.
Blame yourself rather than others.
It is better not to reach than to go too far.— Tokugawa Ieyasu, 1604
