[edit] Latest Tasks

1. I've been spending hours and hours of research and writing on articles related to Scottish Highland History, Clan affiliations and battles, as well as creating Category:Free Will Baptists and populating it with both new and existing articles. This is going to be a work-in-progress for a long time and this page will be updated often.
2. I'm trying to get Khmer language promoted to Wikipedia:Good article status.
3. Between weighing in on the AfD page and RC Patrol, just been being my typical Wikignome-ish self.

[edit] "To Do" list

1. I spent a lot of time researching to rewrite Suwannaphum synchronizing and expanding all articles connected with Mon history, kingdoms, languages and culture (Mon state, Dvaravati, Thaton, Nyah Kur etc). Articles were either stubs and/or contradictory in facts, dates, names, etc. My ambitious plan is to, after improving these articles, link them to a main Mon article, (Mon people?) as daughter articles. All competent help is requested much appreciated.
2. I also plan to work on the articles relating to the ancient history of the Khmers and their various kingdoms, linking and including information on the era and process of Indianization and synchronizing with articles like Kamboja, Kambojas and Kambodia, etc.
3. I have been very busy recently writing articles relating to Clan MacThomas and their historical lands, battles and allegiances. Lots of research and time involved!
4. I have been creating articles related to Free Will Baptists and their history and populating the new category. Also very time-consuming!
5. These are articles I am writing, expanding, planning to write or currently gathering sources for:

Khmer Loeu 

created temp page in order to re-organize, re-format and rewrite the present article

Ratanakiri 

expanded from a mere stub to a decent article, researched and added sources, would like to someday make it a Good article

[edit] Vandalism to this page

My favorite one: Under "to do" list, somebody inserted "Grow a sense of humor". It's more than a little ironic considering how funny I found that to be.
