As you can see, I am using my own name. After all, I have nothing to hide! I want to contribute to Wikipedia in an honest way and with the best intentions.


Knowledge

I sometimes pretend to know a lot about a subject. I do have a broad knowledge, but about subjects I don't know much about I go through some thorough research before writing about it or editing text in articles... I am very persistent, sometimes a bit stubborn, but I can always be talked with and as long as you treat me with respect, you'll get back the same amount of respect from me.

I DO have quite a bit of knowledge about the next subjects:

  • Genseiryu Karate: holder of 2nd brown belt (2nd Kyu) in this style.
  • Karate in general: I started in 1987 with Wado Ryu, later the school changed the style to Shotokan. I stopped at this school at 4th kyu, but I kept on training and occasionally joined a club in Maastricht, Geneva and Tucson, Az.
  • World Genseiryu Karatedo Federation (WGKF): besides the fact that my club is a member, I did a lot of research on and for the WGKF. Also, I am taught by de director-general of the WGKF, sensei Konno and I am in (close) contact with some other WGKF teachers.
  • Maastricht: My hometown. I grew up here and my parents still live there. I speak the language (local dialect) and know the city as the back of my pocket.
  • Physics: Graduated in Industrial engineering, main subject (major): photonics and graduated at CERN
  • Mathematics: was always good in it, gave (private) lessons myself and still have a healthy interest in it.
  • Aviation: I am a pilot now, so ask me anything about this subject! If I don't know, I have a good reason to jump in the books again! ;-)
  • Boeing 747-400: This is the type of airplane I am flying currently (as Second Officer).


My contributions to the English Wikipedia is yet still a very short list, but I have done a few things for the Dutch Wikipedia. In case you understand Dutch, go to the Gebruikerspagina van MarioR.
