[edit] Current Projects

Differentiating the old Japanese province of Koshi from the river by the same name in Nepal. This is important because the historical figure Abe no Hirafu is said to have been the lord of that land, and his wiki entry links to a river in Napal. This is bad, because all of those researching the orginins of Ainu or pre Nara or Heian period Japan will undoubtedly be confused.

[edit] Non Wikipedia Projects

I'm currently working on a python programming language extensible RPG engine in C++. When it's at a place where I can at least diagram what's going on in the source, perhaps I'll link here so people can play around with it.

[edit] Philosphy

I believe that wikipedia is/will be the salvation of rationality as humanity tries to cope with globalization and the struggle between spiritualism and intellectualism. Thus it will most likely go under-appreciated. Though given some free time I'd love to contribute more to the articles in need of citation to try and reverse some of the criticism from those who still dismiss all but primary sources.
