Who is Dave Carlson?
I am a medical student at UCSD School of Medicine in San Diego, California. I received my B.S. in Physiology and Neuroscience from UCSD in 2013.
Pages I've created (incomplete list)
I usually create new pages for notable people that I become aware of and whom I cannot find on WP, and therefore do a fair bit of research before creating a new page.
A Barnstar is an item distributed throughout the wiki community to acknowledge particularly fine contributions to Wikipedia. Below is a list of people to whom I've given a barnstar, and my reasons for doing so:
Sommers - for his excellent, calm, and thoughtful discussion within a heated battle regarding the DSM-IV page
Downwards - for making decisive choices even when they're unpopular, and his tireless work on thousands of sports articles on WP
Nlu - for his tireless contributions to a yet-unexplored area of Wikipedia
Janke - for his excellent photographic submissions, his contributions to WP policy, and for embodying a pleasant, respectful, accepting attitude that is in the best interests of the Wikipedia community as a whole.
JimIrwin - for his tremendous contributions to the population density maps used throughout Wikipedia, and for his geographical contributions that enable us to see the world in which we live.
