This is the user page of "Janke" from Finland.
I am a retired animator, until recently making animated cartoons and movie special effects, mostly for Finnish TV commercials, feature and documentary films. I've done a lot of that over the years, as seen on the IMDB.
I studied chemistry for a couple of years at the Helsinki University of Technology, in the early 1970s. I've had many different hobbies over the years, including animation and chemistry, magic tricks, photography, Disney animation, building electronic gadgets, Live Steam miniature railroading... and Wikipedia, it seems like!
Wiki contributions
I've so far added quite a few items of information on subjects I'm familiar with, some of my photos (gallery here), as well as reverted some vandalism. The latter concerns me quite a bit - checking the contributions page of a vandal usually reveals more vandalism. I think blocking should be administered pretty fast, even of anonymous IP addresses, when there are several cases of vandalism from one user or IP. The harm of vandalism surely is greater than the inability to edit by an anoymous user - who can always sign in!
One of my suggestions has become a policy on Wikipedia.
