My name is Tom Gally, and I am a teacher, lexicographer, and former translator living in Yokohama, Japan.

I began contributing to Wikipedia in September 2004. So far, I have created the following articles:

Thomas Blount, Catalina Island Conservancy (stub), Ian Frazier, Donald Grant Mitchell, Joseph Mitchell, Nagai Kafu, Otsuki Fumihiko, Polyglot (book), Portative organ, Positive organ, Regal, Roger Twysden, Shincho (stub), Silent letter, Calvin Trillin, Yu Miri

and the following images:

Chinese restaurant in Katsushika-ku, Tokyo, in the articles Chinese cuisine and Japanese Chinese cuisine
Frets on a guitar neck in the article Fret
Semicolon usage in the article The New Yorker
Summertime beach in Avalon, California
Yasuda Auditorium* and Akamon in the article University of Tokyo
*Later replaced by a better image.

I have also made significant additions to:

Lexicographic error, Nippon Oil

When I have time, I also enjoy wandering around Wikipedia and making miscellaneous additions and corrections.

Some non-Wiki things I have created are at Gally.Net.

[edit] Chemistry articles

In 2004 and 2005, I supervised first-year doctoral students in chemistry at the University of Tokyo with the preparation of Wikipedia articles in their areas of expertise. Among the articles that the students have created or expanded are:
