I used to be just "Taivo", but Wikipedia made me change it because someone on another Wikiproject was "Taivo" before I was.

Warning: This editor is a specialist in a scientific field, so he often runs afoul of the "Randy in Boise" trap.

It is easy to mistake quantity for quality.

I am continually amazed by Wikipedia's unbridled ability to ignore science in favor of "common knowledge"

style="vertical-align: middle; border-top: 1px solid gray;" | I have been following your responses in this talkpage, where you have proven to be extremely skilled and eloquent in your arguments. This one was the most striking ever: [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk%3ASlavic_speakers_of_Greek_Macedonia&type=revision&diff=775873287&oldid=775858968#Question link], which embodies a classic characteristic which is very commonly seen among non-neutral editors, but is rarely described as eloquently as you did there. {{p|smile}} Please, you shouldn't be surprised if other editors (such as me) start copying your fine writing skills elsewhere to make up for their lacking skills! {{p|grin}} " SILENTRESIDENT 12:56, 18 April 2017 (UTC)
