Welcome to Harmil's home on Wikipedia. I've been working on a varied list of things. Feel free to look around and leave a message on my talk page if you want to communicate.

Here is a short list of the pages I'm most proud of:

And here is the full list:

[edit] Ongoing or completed projects

In some cases, these projects are still ongoing, but significant portions have been accomplished.

[edit] Off-Wiki

When I'm not working here, I do things like this d20 treasure generator for the d20 System and other gaming related fun. Or working on my own MediaWiki site.

I also contribute to the Perl 6 design and development effort where I can. Right now, I'm working on the "synopsis" process, which is essentially the summarization of non-existant specs, based on ephemeral communications gathered from the Web, mailing lists and IRC ;-)

[edit] Dumpster diving

These are articles I've saved (or am trying to save) from the VfD trash bin. I usually re-write the stub (or replace blatant ads or resumes) and fill in any needed supplemental pages in order to make the case for the topic. For some (e.g. The Poppykettle Papers) this results in some fun research finds (Poppykettle Festival). For others like Acushnet Company, I do it because I started out knowing that a poorly written article was actually about a notable topic.

[edit] Pending

I am no longer working on the AFD/VFD process. It just got too political and too many people were complaining that any time spent on such articles was a waste of time.

[edit] Success

Acushnet Company, Adidas 1, Michael Carter, Galaxy Desserts, Innate bisexuality, LSOL.com, Release Management (moved to transwiki), Ruth Parasol, PBS Kids, The Poppykettle Papers, Protein ontology, Rick Schmidlin, Sandra Scoppttone/Sandra Scoppettone, Trudi LeCaine

Harmil finds the phrase, "contemporary hit-driven Dance music product," amusing.

Harmil also finds the phrase "I wipe a kid" amusing, mostly for its anagramatic properties.
