The whole story

A 23 year old guy in Denmark that has been around the Scandia countries. I am a dual citizen of Denmark and the USA. I am studying HF, which is like one or two years of college in America, to be followed by a PhD. from the University of Copenhagen. I have been translating historical texts from Danish to English and I am a CVU member. I contribute regularly, SO WHERE IS MY ROSETTA BARNSTAR??? (Looks over to the right) Oh there it is. (Jaw drops on ground)

Current subjects include math, chemistry, biology, geography, social studies and religion. Have studied history, philosophy, political science with subjects in globalization, NGO work, regional studies and media studies. I have also studied languages. I am at a post college level on many of these subjects. Please feel free to ask for advice.

Degrees

I have from IPC a degree with classes in Globalization, Communications, NGO, Philosophy, 'Media and the Middle East' and Regional studies.

From Kalø language, I have language certificates in Danish and German and from Kalø farming school I have the first module for organic agriculture.

HF from VUC Nykøbing/Roskilde/København with a concentration in the sciences, e.g. Physics and Calculus. -

Pushing Limits

Simply put, I try to push the limits of some of the rules on Wikipedia to map out what is and is not allowed. Right now, I am exploring what Wolfram Alpha's affect is on WP:OR. The problem is, Wolfram Alpha is in essence a program for calculations using quantified data that is already indexed on its servers. Since it is data already indexed using a program that can compare said data with inputs from a user and because the results can be cited, is it Original Research or is it Wolfram's research?

Adopted Articles

Removal of game references

To those who would like to ask why I have been removing references to games from articles. Here is why.

It is because I think the games are irrelevant to the articles I have removed them from. I think these references to games should be moved to the game's article and instead of saying this place, object or weapon is featured in this game, the game's article should say it features this place, this object or weapon.

Although a Hwacha is relevant to a game, a game is not relevant to a Hwacha and a game should not be mentioned there. -
