User:Madalibi#Sandboxes to be deleted .28for Admins.29

Hello! I'm a Canadian man of European descent, and I've lived in China with my family for more than 10 years. I specialize in Chinese history, especially the history of the Qing dynasty (1644–1912), as well as in pre-modern Chinese law and medicine. I no longer work in Academia, but I'm still publishing articles and working on two scholarly books.

I edit Wikipedia as an artisan builds a mosaic, little piece by little piece. This is why I can be very slow, but I believe meticulousness helps to create lasting, reliable content.
