[edit] My Focus

Usually I'll edit pages that I was reading for my information anyway, and decided it needed some cleanup.

[edit] What I'm working on

  • Drafts for main articles.
  • Gallery of my images.
  • Live spellcheck - if you see the edit summary Pseudo automatic live spellcheck: Correct spelling... it means I corrected the listed spelling. This is not a bot, and I do check each correction manually (per policy). The articles I correct are chosen by the script, and not me.
  • Source patrol - I've added [citation needed] to these articles recently, and if the statements aren't sourced soon, I'll remove the statements in accordance with WP:V.
  • Topic: Politics
    • Constitutional Court of Spain - there is very little about the Spanish judiciary on Wikipedia in general. I'll start with this article, and try to get it up to DYK status, and then move on to other related articles.
    • Right to petition - started article, mostly about US application (since that's what I'm familiar with), and, incidentally, UK historic application (only because I'm tracing the roots of the American application in the US Bill of Rights)

[edit] What I've finished

Updated DYK query On 9 December 2006, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Constitutional Court of Spain, which you created. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.
Updated DYK query On December 7, 2006, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Right to petition in the United States, which you created. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

[edit] Things about Wikipedia that bother me

These are specific examples of general trends in Wikipedia that bother me. Only one trend for now! That's good!

  • Fringe opinions (and controversies about those fringe opinions, and discussions about controversies about..., etc. etc.) get more coverage and editor time than the topic itself
Ex. Apollo Moon Landing hoax accusations is much longer (about 3x) than Apollo 11 as of 21:18, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
