Hello. Do you have a question about a page I have edited? Please resist entropy: ask on the relevant talk page. Maybe I watch the page, maybe not, so if you want a fast reply ping me on my talk page.

My Wikipedia work

Most Wikipedia articles that I edit concern cancer in children, with a focus on interwiki links and reliable sources. I also translate, mostly from German, Spanish, and Portuguese into English.
