I agree to release all rights, unless otherwise stated, to all my contributions (both text and images) to the English Wikipedia, enabling anyone to use them for any purpose.

Infernal Hails! My name is Pavel Minaev (Russian: Павел Минаев). I was born in 1985 in the USSR in the city of Tambov, which is now a part of Russia. I presently live in North Bend, WA, and work at Microsoft. If you want to know what my nickname means, see here - but be warned, it's on a rather technical side.

I'm not focusing on anything in particular, but so far areas of my minor contributions were articles related to WW2 firearms, Middle-earth, and history of Russia and Soviet Union. If you have any questions, or just want to discuss anything Wikipedia-related, feel free to contact me by any means listed in the infobox on the right (or just use my talk page). I prefer XMPP/Jabber over everything else, though, and will reply most swiftly if you contact me that way.
