About
Materialscientist has been an editor for Wikipedia for 10 years.
He has focused mostly on science related content.
He has improved, edited, and succinctly written top articles on about 13 elements and compounds.
Role
After writing and working on scientific articles about materials science, he continued to go down the rabbit hole and spread his editing throughout the site.
He then became a "wikignome" of sorts as he began undertaking tasks such as cleaning up and formatting vandalism, adding references, fixing typos, and things that catches his eye.
He normally uploads photos on Wikipedia and improves using GIMP.
Banning And Accusations of Elitism
Materialscientist has been notoriously associated with the ban/blocking of Artem R. Oganov, a notable professor in the field of Geosciences at Stony Brook University, and is responsible for breakthrough discoveries in Boron science.
Oganov was blocked by Materialscientist for “sock-puppeting”, an accusation that was made by Wikipedians, including Materialscientist.
He was then unblocked as long as he didn't edit subjects of his expertise.
