I'm currently getting used to it here and figuring out what things I like to do and how I can help. For now:
- I monitor links to the Epic disambiguation page. Rather interesting education in Epic poetry, Epic metal music, record companies and, of course, Wikipedians. Pick a disambiguation page for yourself!
- I'm interested in disambiguation pages in general, both pragmatically and philosophically. Pragmatically, I try to see how to make them useful to those looking for information. Philosophically, it is interesting to ponder how and why our knowledge gets categorizied into articles in the way they do. And how does this categorization affect how we understand the world.
I touch up things that don't read right to me, but have made reasonably significant updates to the following:
- Angle of Repose
- David Hilbert
- Isaac McCoy
- Orlando Ward
- Wolfgang Hildesheimer (German translation)
- From the editor: New feature
- Board of Trustees expanded as three new members are appointed
- Wikimedia Foundation releases financial audit
- Arbitration Committee elections continue, extra seat available
- Female-only wiki mailing list draws fire
- Trolling organization's article deleted
- WikiWorld comic: "Redshirt"
- News and notes: Fundraiser plans, milestones
- Wikipedia in the News
- Features and admins
- Bugs, Repairs, and Internal Operational News
- The Report on Lengthy Litigation
