Hi, I'm Hakelover but I usually go by Hake. I'm a new editor on Wikipedia so if I make a mistake feel free to point it out. I mostly tend to focus on pointing out articles that lack sourcing and neutrality. I tend to most frequently edit English pages but I do at times correct Danish ones. I also do light translation work for pages which are clearly written in a more robust manner in another language.

I enjoy reading and writing about social science and history but I myself have no degree within these fields. Everything I write is driven purely by these subjects being of interest to me.

I don't mind if my page is edited by other user, all ask is that you remain respectful in doing so.

Picture of the day

Lord Kelvin (26 June 1824 – 17 December 1907) was a British mathematician, mathematical physicist and engineer. Born in Belfast, he was Professor of Natural Philosophy at the University of Glasgow for 53 years, where he undertook significant research, including on electricity and the formulation of the first and second laws of thermodynamics. He was also the first to determine the correct value of absolute zero, and the Kelvin scale of temperature is named in his honour. Kelvin received the Copley Medal in 1883, served as the president of the Royal Society from 1890 to 1895, and in 1892 became the first British scientist to be elevated to the House of Lords. This photograph, taken circa 1900, shows Kelvin resting on a binnacle (the stand for a marine compass) of his invention, and holding a marine azimuth mirror.Photograph credit: T. & R. Annan & Sons; restored by Adam Cuerden
