I started out by mostly fixing and adding citations in my spare time, an electronic version of raking a rock garden. I also like working on backlogs because seeing the numbers go down feels good and seeing them go up feels bad. Now I'm branching out to de-stubbing because it's a chance to learn about new topics and then share what I've learned.

Finally starting to participate in:

Wikipedia:The 50,000 Destubbing Challenge &
Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge
Locations I've destubbed an article from: BhutanCameroon1.5ItalyKenyaNigeria0.5United Nations

Currently focused on stubs in Africa.

Recently participated in:

Stuff I like to check on:

Ongoing tasks when I get stuck:

  • alphabetic characters in post-Soviet languages
  • defunct minor league baseball teams (currently focused on: Canadian Baseball League)
  • adding sources and details to writing systems' pages and alphabets' letters: Abkhaz ATM
  • seeing if there's anything useful I can add to linguistics articles lacking sources: [1]
  • fixing missing/broken ethnologue references on language pages (changing ref name e18, etc. to template e18) [2]
  • adding coordinates to various articles: [3]

Completed(?) tasks in case I want to return to them:

Stuff to do when I'm out of ideas:
