My name is Andries Krugers Dagneaux. I am from the Netherlands. Interests are cult/cults, Hinduism, science (esp. physics), electronics (component level), chess. I may make some small mistakes in English, especially in punctuation. My Dutch is excellent but I care more about the English version of wikipedia than the Dutch version. I have become a complete skeptic due to an unfortunate experience with an Indian guru called Sathya Sai Baba. I think Wikipedia is a great project.

Permanent gratitude
I want to thank to all the people who do household chores to improve and maintain Wikipedia. I do shamelessly little at the moment. Thanks.
Is Wikipedia a cult?
Please read this eyes-opening new article that dissects Wikipedia's propaganda! User:Andries/Wikipedia:controversy Feel free to expand.
Sathya Sai Baba
Can somebody please improve the article Sathya Sai Baba? I don't see my own mistakes. Thanks in advance.
Favorite Quotes
- There is a principle which is a bar against all information, which is proof against all arguments and which cannot fail to keep a man in everlasting ignorance - that principle is contempt prior to investigation. by Herbert Spencer Many people would agree with this quote but for psychological reasons, only pay lip service to it (including me sometimes).
- To explain all nature is too difficult a task for any one man or even for any one age. 'Tis much better to do a little with certainty, and leave the rest for others that come after you, than to explain all things. Isaac Newton
- Quoted in Calculus Gems (1992) G Simmons
Hinduism
I am not a Hindu but I see a some ignorance and prejudice about Hinduism here.
Re-reading sources
In my experience, it takes a lot of effort to write a good article. Sometimes I think I can rely on my memory of books that I read a while ago but later I find out then some inaccuracies have slipped in. So I really have to re-study the subject to write a good article.
