User:Buran Biggest Fan

Greetings!

My username is "Buran Biggest Fan" beacuse I do love science (in general), space exploration, computer sciences and history. A lot of time ago I did a small work about Buran Spacecraft, and it had those four attributes I do like. So I took its name as a way to honor all the engineers that worked on it and now nobody rememembers them.

I focus on history and computing sciences (specially retro stuff), but any other small edit can be done.

I grew up with teachers saying: "Don't put Wikipedia as a source, beacuse it is not reliable", now I can say "Except with some exceptions, Wikipadia is reliable because the high number of editors and revisors". I will try to help the Catalan Wikipedia too, because it's my language and it still requires a lot of work.

I am glad to be part of this project.
