User:Halibutt/OldPage
Halibutt (born 1981) - a student, journalist in spe and a proficient nitpicker. Since 2000 a student at the Spanish Studies Faculty of the Warsaw University. Some time ago I was also working for the Polish Press Agency. I joined the Polish wikipedia some time ago with a sense of a mission, but don't worry, I quickly grew up. My main interests are history and linguistics, with focus on Central Europe and history of 20th century armed conflicts.
Contrary to what you might think, I passed my Cambridge CAE exams and got an A grade, which theoretically entitles me to teach English language in Polish high schools. I'm a proof that the British Council examination boards are often wrong... Please feel free to correct my mistakes.
As all other Poles I'm a fascist/ communist/ racist/ anti-semite/ biased person/ revisionist/ philo-semite/ Semite/ trouble user/ uncivilized barbarian/ nationalist/ placename fetishist. Or at least that is how certain wikipedians call me. I guess that's the price one has to pay for having one's own point of view and knowing enough historical sources to defend it. As a Jew I have several other features, but it's not PC to state them loudly. Anyway, before you make any remarks on my nationality be sure to learn how to deal with Poles.
