"The first time an article about me appeared on Wikipedia was on the Polish edition. I felt kind of flattered. I asked the author why he had done it, and he wrote: "Because you deserve it." Quite a nice compliment, even though I really don't believe my person is so very important at all. At present I "have" an article in six different language editions. Although I am an active Wikipedia editor, I don't interfere with them. I know very well that there is no rule that would forbid me to edit them, but I elect not to do so."
