Hi Wikis, born 1942, after study electronic engineering I was busy for passive components in the industry since 1968. My special interest are capacitors. Retired some years ago I am now trying to bring my knowledge into Wiki articles. The reason and my motivation:

Capacitors are a good example of the fact that even the simplest device can become complicated given 250 years of evolution. (Citation J. Ho, T. R. Jow, St. Boggs, Historical Introduction to Capacitor Technology) Some articles in the German Wiki I was involved:
 * Elektrolytkondensator
 * Aluminium-Elektrolytkondensator
 * Tantal-Elektrolytkondensator
 * Niob-Elektrolytkondensator
 * Kunststoff-Folienkondensator
 * Entstörkondensator
 * Keramikkondensator
 * Variabler Kondensator
 * Superkondensator
 * Lithium-Ionen-Kondensator
 * Leistungskondensator
 * Nanokondensator
 * Capacitor plague
 * Dielektrische Absorption

With a lot of help for correct English from friendly and helpful colleagues I was involved in the followig English articles
 * Capacitor plague
 * Dielectric absorption
 * Film capacitor
 * Types of capacitor
 * Ceramic capacitor
 * Supercapacitor

Next challenges:
