[edit] A few of the pages I've started

Main article: User:Rich Farmbrough/Pages started

[edit] Interesting things

[edit] Date project

I have worked to get date formatting and linking up to scratch, and standardised. But blow me, Wikipedia keeps growing and changing, so there's as much to do now as when I started!

For more details on this topic, see /dates.

[edit] Barnstars et al

I have some and I like getting them. I have also given some out.

For more details on this topic, see /Barnstars.

[edit] Things that stayed too long

  • SE 194W

Who has the real diamond? [1] 6 weeks.

[edit] Database dumps

Latest dump.

[edit] Disambiguation

I have also disambiguated "British" (several times), please correct any mistakes you come across. See User:Rich Farmbrough/Disambig scripts for a tool I used to help with disambiguation.

[edit] WP errors

There are so many ways WP can fail.

Main article: User:Rich Farmbrough/wikierrors

[edit] Useful style guides etc.

[edit] Edits

Generalist.

I would like to be writing great articles, but actually I'm an inveterate "fixer" of anything that I see that looks wrong - mainly links and copyedits. I have spent some time on GFDLing images, and on some specific articles. for example Spaghetti House siege and Pedro Lopez.
