Special:Contributions/Kingdon

I've made a large number of small edits to various pages, but my longest single contribution was one of my first: the Spoken Wikipedia recording for Submarine. I also started Creeping blueberry (short but sourced), Helwingiaceae (was easy to get to a decent stub due to having a French article I could translate), Eupatorieae and various other pages (with varying success).

I'm also at:

[edit] Random thoughts

In Foolish hobgoblins (Language Log, March 04, 2007), Arnold Zwicky dares to defend inconsistency in language. Doubt he'll get anywhere (and he doesn't discuss collaboratively written works like wikipedia), but I have significant sympathies with him.

Category:Plant articles needing attention

Unsourced species list:
Wikify:

Write Conoclinium - [1] should have most of what we need for a stub. photo (can take one myself although will need to wait until fall 2008). garden usages (find a cite for this).

Write Chelone (plant) - [2] looks like a good start but [3] has more species. Chelone glabra is host for Baltimore checkerspot. Update Chelone disambig page. I guess Chelone (genus) should redirect to Chelone (plant) unless we should just stick with the former.

Write Columbia Air Center based on [4] Maybe [5] as an external link. Link from Tuskegee Airmen (note mention of tuskegee airmen becoming instructors after the war). Maybe something related to Patuxent River Watershed Park or even an article for parks and planning as a whole? The web page [6] would make a good external link (and has some leads for library research, like a reference to a Washington Afro-American newspaper article from August 16, 1941). Add to Wikipedia:WikiProject Maryland.
