[edit] Current Work: Historical states

Geopolitics over the course of history always been a fascination for me. And so I am now concentrating on bringing entries on historical states up to a suitable standard, so that they can be useful sources of information for geographical and historical purposes, and for any other purpose that I can think of. There is a huge number of historical and geographical entries which are not so easy to find. Reviving the Former Countries project and integrating it with other projects (and not just with geographical projects) is my way of solving this problem.

At the moment, I am working on cross-project collaborations and constructing any infoboxes, navbars and maps that make these articles more accessible.

As a testing area for many of the features required for this project, I have revived the previously inactive Prussia WikiProject.

[edit] Contributions

Articles that I have either created or significantly contributed to. This isn't really a chance to show off - it's just easier for me to keep track of things this way.
