From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I'm a Wikipedian from Germany so my native language is German. To find more specific information about me, I kindly ask you to check my German Wikipedia User page. Some personal info: I was born in 1975, have a M.Sc. in Human biology, and live in the far north-east of Germany. My main fields of interest and work within the Wikipedia include Red Cross history and activities and a wide range of science topics with an emphasis (naturally) on Biology and Medicine.

Up to now, my contributions to the English Wikipedia, apart from adding Interwiki links and doing minor edits in articles I just come by for various reasons, consist of translations of articles from the German Wikipedia. Check the user page of Tfine80 to see why. I worked in close collaboration with Tfine80 on the following articles for which I'm the main author of their German counterpart. As one can see, up to now our primary focus has been the history of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, with some emphasis on biographical articles about related persons. Percentage numbers indicate approximate share in translation work between me vs. Tfine80:

Marcel Junod - 50% me, 50% Tfine80 (new article)
Gustave Moynier - 99% Tfine80, 1% me (new article)
International Day of the Disappeared - 95% me, 5% Tfine80 (new article)
