Hi, I'm Fairweather01, and I hail from New Zealand. |

In my spare time, I enjoy reading whatever I can get my hands on, listening to all kinds of music, surfing the Internet and just using the computer in general, and watching movies. |

I am and have really always been a huge fan of Wikipedia - it's always been invaluable to me whenever I wanted to know anything about anything - and one day I thought to myself: 'Why don't I join so I can help in my own little way make Wikipedia better, so others could feel the same way I do?' |

I love Wikipedia in that it gives you the impression of a real community coming together. Everyone can do what they enjoy doing - creating, checking, etc. - because everyone has something that they are good at and love to do. And because of this, everything gets done because all editors focus on different areas! There are few stones unturned when it comes to the structure of Wikipedia as a whole. I love the message I get of 'get stuck in, be bold'. |

I'm a big fan of children's literature - basically anything well-known is something I'll love - so I enjoy editing those sorts of articles, among others. |
|||
I'm also a complete and total grammar stickler, so mainly I make contributions involving corrections of unseemly commas, misplaced apostrophes, and that sort of thing. I also sometimes edit informal prose so that it has a more encyclopaedic feel. |

Georg N. Koskinas (1885-1975) was a Greek neurologist-psychiatrist. He was born on December 1, 1885 in Geraki, near Sparta.[1][2] He studied medicine at the University of Athens, graduating in 1910, and subsequently trained as a resident in the Clinic of Psychiatry and Neurology of Aiginiteion Hospital under Michel Catsaras, a student of Jean-Martin Charcot (1825-1893). Between 1916 and 1927 he worked at the University of Vienna in neuropathology and neuroanatomy. At the Neurological Institute, his mentors in neuropathology were Heinrich Obersteiner (1847-1922) and Otto Marburg (1874-1948). In 1925 Koskinas published, with neurologist Constantin von Economo (1876-1931), the monumental Cytoarchitektonik der Hirnrinde des erwachsenen Menschen[3] (Cytoarchitectonics of the Adult Human Cerebral Cortex[4]). His collaboration with neuropathologist Ernst Sträussler (1872-1959)[5] in the Psychiatric Clinic headed by Julius Wagner-Jauregg (1857-1940) lead to several histopathological publications related to the malaria therapy of dementia paralytica or general paresis of the insane, a complication of tertiary syphilis.[6][7][8][9] Following his repatriation to Greece in 1927, he founded private clinics and practised psychiatry and neurology in Kifissia, a northern Athenian suburb. Georg N. Koskinas died on July 8, 1975 in Athens at the age of 90.
