Open Scientist, very much involved in the Blue Obelisk (Q4420286) 
movement, Egon Willighagen (Q20895241) in the Wikidata database. Co-submitter of the Enabling Open Science: Wikidata for Research (Wiki4R) (Q26707522) .[1]
[2] Also contributed to the Scholia project.[3] Participating in Wikidata since July 2013.[4] I practice open notebook science and my Wikidata notebooks can be found at https://github.com/egonw/ons-wikidata
Seven years later, on September 19th 2020, I made my 1 millionth edit. Later milestones:
- in November 2021 the 2 millionth edit was made, adding a SwissLipids (Q41165322)
identifier - on April 8th 2023 I made the 3 millionth edit around the topic of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (Q648037)
- thanks to a big effort to add missing mass (P2067) annotations for chemical compounds, I made my 4 millionth edit in August 2023.
- my 5 millionth edit was in December 2023, for a batch of citations to retracted articles (ht OpenCitations (Q29279836) ). Earlier this week I marked ~7000 articles in Wikidata as retracted, based on CrossRef Retraction Watch (Q17078233) data
- April 19, 2024: my 6 millionth edit. Part of a big batch of citations from and to articles from the LOTUS Initiative data, linking metabolites to taxons. See The LOTUS initiative for open knowledge management in natural products research (Q112143478) .
- Somewhere in September 2024 I passed the 7 millionth edit. Since the previous landmark, it has been mostly citations (between existing Wikidata items for scholarly articles) and annotation of retracted articles.
Chemistry has my main interest, metabolites particularly, but I am interested in science at large, including the process and the history.
Doing these days
editThings I am doing or interested in in Wikidata right now include:
- adding SMILES (and a bit more) for Wikidata pages that do not have it, while Wikipedia has a ChemBox: https://w.wiki/8iUp
- retracted articles (and citations to them) (without adding new articles)
- Wikidata:WikiCite/Citation_Typing_Ontology
- Scholia (Q45340488) (particularly topic, citation links)
- contribute to Wikidata:WikiProject Chemistry and Wikidata:WikiProject COVID-19
- working with PubChem (Q278487) on depositing chemical structures in Wikidata in PubChem
- working with Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre (Q5025404) on their identifiers in Wikidata and a small data deposit

Curation lists
editBots
editI have started developing a bot to working on metabolic pathways related information.
Based on a request, I have created a third account, again ending with "bot". These two accounts are defunct.
