This user is busy reading many editors' reasons for being busy and may not respond swiftly to queries.
This is a new account but I'm not new to Wikipedia. I originally started editing years ago under the username, NwJerseyLiz (contributions here, edit breakdown here) which I maintain as an alternate account. Until I established this account, I also edited as an IP over the years to make mostly minor copy edits. I have created this username account (contributions here) so I can do a variety of activities that unregistered accounts can not do. Here's my breakdown of edit history with this account.

An oblique shock is a shock wave that, unlike a normal shock, is inclined with respect to the direction of incoming air. It occurs when a supersonic flow encounters a corner that effectively turns the flow into itself and compresses. This photograph shows an oblique shock at the nose of a Northrop T-38 Talon aircraft, made visible through Schlieren photography.Photograph credit: NASA & US Air Force (J.T.

Est omnino difficile iudicare inclusionis meritum cuiusdam rei in encyclopædia cum ratio sciendi quid populi referat incerta sit, sed nihilominus aliquid encyclopædiam dedecet
It is generally difficult to judge the worthiness of a particular topic for inclusion in an encyclopedia considering that there is no certain way to know what interests people, but some topics nevertheless are not fit for an encyclopedia.
This motto reflects the desire of these Wikipedians to be reluctant, but not entirely unwilling, to remove articles from Wikipedia.
