...there is...a tradition, across many disciplines, of the permitted amateur – doctors who were biologists and ornithologists, landed gentlemen who were scientists, zoologists and historians, clergymen who were encyclopaedic – and I hope I will be admitted to the ranks of those amateurs.

Hi! I'm Rudi Landmann, a long-time Wikipedian in Brisbane, Australia with Austrian heritage. I have some pretty diverse interests, but most of my activity here is in aerospace history. I am non-binary and use they/them pronouns. I am autistic and live with ADHD (inattentive type).
I have formal qualifications or have formally studied in many fields, including business, engineering, law, history, literature, physics, and music to name a few. I'm fascinated by language and linguistics, but do not consider myself fluent in any except my mother tongue, English. I can read most Romance languages at a basic level.

I award Rlandmann this barnstar for his dedication to aviation. There are not too many people who are dedicated to one field like you, Rlandmann. Also, for giving me a website that I downloaded and might help me transport photos to wikipedia (with permission from owner), whereas before I would have to rely on others to do this. Thanks Rlandmann! :"Antonio Barnstar is the Oscars of Wikipedia!!!! Martin"
For tirelessly cleaning up after my mistakes, and constant involvement in WikiProject aircraft, I award Rlandmann the Working Man's barnstar. →Iñgōlemo←

Space Pioneer Award Please enjoy this well-deserved award for excellence in the field of aerospace. A very long time ago, we worked together on French aircraft. I think our paths have crossed at Board Game Geek as well. Now I'm doing spaceflight articles at Wikipedia and loving it. We have lots of common interests, so I hope we keep in touch this time around! :) --Neopeius (talk) 16:16, 6 January 2019 (UTC)
