Arguing is part of my religion. I mostly write about Law, Jewish topics, and Germany. Please make me aware if I'm doing something in a way that is not optimal, even if the conduct does not violate any policies.

Non-exhaustive list of things I significantly contributed to
- An article about a case before the German Federal constitutional court
- One of the few (known) transgender intelligence agents
- Created an arguably somewhat significant article about the contemporary discussion of dietary norms
- A list of expert opinions on allegations of genocide during the Israel-Hamas war, created by another editor after a discussion about German-language legal sources
- Not included: a high but unknown number of RfCs, RMs, source and BLP discussions, and any legal and I/P topic that can’t outrun me

The Barnstar of Diplomacy | |
| For being a much-needed reminder that, even when discussing the most controversial of topics, and even in an environment where emotions are running high, it's still possible to have an insightful and respectful disagreement. Vanilla Wizard 💙 09:29, 21 April 2024 (UTC) |

The Tireless Contributor Barnstar |
| Sorry for letting your message fall through the cracks! I was on a bit of an undeclared vacation. I'm thrilled to see that people are taking up the mantle of making sources accessible, and watching them put in the work has been really a sight to behold. Please accept this barnstar as a token of appreciation :) theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 23:11, 14 May 2025 (UTC) |

COI disclosure
I do not and have never accepted payment for editing. Additionally, I usually do not edit pages of entities or individuals to which I have a current personally beneficial financial relationship (employment, significant share ownership) or people with whom I have a close personal relationship. I generally avoid editing pages to which those have such financial relationships as well, even if it is technically permitted to do so.
However, I edit about educational and academic institutions of which I am or have been part, and institutions that compete with them (by nature of the field), as well as people employed by either. Anyone is free to assume that I have a conflict of interest concerning any European high school, college, university, research institution, scholarship network, or anything directly or indirectly affiliated with them. This especially applies to institutions teaching law, business, politics, and medicine.
While my edits are done for encyclopedic purposes, bias that may be caused by such a potential COI is an understandable concern and may be brought up if relevant, even if a practical interpretation of the rules (alumni and students commonly edit the pages of their Alma mater or things associated with them, etc.) would not prohibit such an edit.
I have other accounts (currently: one) for legitimate reasons, particularly protecting my privacy.
I do not wish to be connected to any external activity. As of late 2024, I have aquired a conflict of interest (an actual one, not just the cautious approach above) in regards to some articles I have edited in the past. Please excuse that I therefore cannot further contribute to some discussions.
To place where appropriate
== (Technical) COI disclosure ==
I have what a strict reading could plausibly describe as a non-financial conflict of interest regarding this article. While I believe that my editing (both talk page and article) is not affected by it, I have voluntarily chosen to provide this disclaimer in addition to the one on my user page. ~~~~
