My nickname is a Cyrillic projection of a Greek: Βικιδημος portmanteau, something along the lines of Greek: Νικόδημος ("victorious people", cf. Nicodemus). It is intended to mean "[of] wikipeople". If you have hard time finding Cyrillics on your keyboard, feel free to address me as Wikidemus.

Regarding your commment "I am always genuinely happy whenever my ignorance spurs some action. I am keeping my !vote since it does not matter in this case if the article will be built from scratch or out of an 8-year-old redirect, as the initial author will be the same, but can change it to wait if this can make life simpler for anyone." I guess that you can compliment yourself and I am sure that you have good intentions, but I will say that it is rare that ignorance of a topic really help to advance a discussion.--Smokefoot (talk) 14:46, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

Dear colleague: (1) First of all, it is real pleasure to work with an expert. That said, (2) I personally prefer to work on subjects that I am not deeply familiar with as a matter of principle: this is (for me) a place to have fun, and there is little fun (for me) in writing down what I am an expert in, as it involves searching for WP:RS to reference the facts that I know to be true. Looking back at my contributions so far, I cannot say I am ashamed of them, even if (or especially when?) they are on the truly obscure subjects that no one but me seems to care about (cf. Bishop Street, Novgorod Detinets with its views per month that can be counted on fingers of one hand). (3) In this particular case, I have actually searched for the compound name and formula prior to writing my original comment, and still happen to think that it is fairly obscure (not unimportant!), as most niobium-related things are. Wikipedia is lucky to have editors like you, familiar with these (pretty cool) corners of the human knowledge well. (4) IMHO, the net result of our interaction was very positive for the project, as it has another article on an important subject. (5) I did not mean any offense, so if any of my remarks grated upon you, please accept my apologies. Викидим (talk) 20:44, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
