I am Connor Behan, born 1989-08-10. I can never pick a nickname for myself that I still favour several years later so I just use my real name on Wikipedia and most online communities. My edit count might be high because I joined in 2006 but I am not as active as I used to be. There are a few discussions on talk pages which have taught me a lot but I try to focus on article content as much as possible.

My research interests are in various areas of quantum field theory. Currently, I am a postdoc at ICTP-SAIFR and Perimeter Institute. My blog is Small Perturbation and please see below for a list of my profiles on communities that I consider worthwhile.

1. GitHub
2. Physics StackExchange
3. iNaturalist
4. Inspire HEP

This page used to have a list of my most edited pages and what my upcoming plans ostensibly were. All that was very out of date but it's still the case that the page I've edited the most is List of Star Wars planets and moons.

Of my friends IRL, at least four are Wikipedia editors:

• Yang
• Ruolin
• Dan
• Han

• Bot bin - To keep my talk page more readable / relevant, I move discussions here if they consist of a generic form letter, a global message or something written by a bot.
• Userboxen - For those who think that users should be sorted and categorized.

One thing on Wikipedia that I will probably never do again, is upload someone else's copyrighted picture. Even if there is no free alternative, Wikipedia is simply too hard nosed about the issue right now for me to consider it worthwhile. I've tried it before and no matter how well I tried to explain myself, my pictures always ended up being nominated for deletion. If you want to add a fair use picture to an article I create, more power to you. I hope it's allowed to stay without you having to constantly defend it.

Another thing I will not do is create an article about a TV show episode or fictional character. I have seen many articles like this get deleted for being non-encyclopedic and you know what? The people who deleted them were completely right! These articles are not encyclopedic at all! The episode articles that I see nowadays contain mostly in-universe information that only fans of the show care about. It is often copied from a fan wiki. And then to satisfy Wikipedia admins, they compromise by adding a small amount of real world information. Nobody actually reads the article for this information - it is usually something trivial like a Nielsen rating and these can be found on the show's main article anyway. You will not see me creating articles like this. However, if one of them stands the test of time (remains on Wikipedia for over a year without being deleted) you might see me edit it to make sure it doesn't suck.
