I Like

Correct spelling (As a WikiGnome I cover all the Wikipedia:Lists of common misspellings/R and other misspellings as well).
More Capital Letters Than Wikipedia Guidelines Allow.
Accuracy and correctly cited references, without which, this is no more than a blog.

I Dislike

Wikipedia keeping misspelt articles as redirects, which leads to more uses of the same misspelling, as editors copy the spelling in a green link.

Contact Me:- Please leave a message on my Talk Page
If you e-mail me, I will probably reply on your talk page, or the article talk page, as most discussions should be open and on the record.
I have had problems with e-mails not being delivered, so please leave a message at User talk:Arjayay if I have not replied within 48 hours.


New Articles:-
I enjoy the detective work in disentangling subjects which other sources have conflated into one article, e.g. Pete Gage, Billy Rankin and Robert Calvert
Articles I have created include:-
