1000th article edit: 16th Feb 2005: started John Kovalic mini-bio. One of my rare (somewhat) original contributions, as opposed to the more usual pedantry-at-large.
Current fixations
EliminatingReducingTrying to keep vaguely in touch with the oversized stub categories- All stub categories, from database dump
- Expunge all instances of "recieve" and ancillary non-parts of speech from the 'pedia ([1]), [2]).
- Likewise, "seperate" ([3], [4], [5])
- and "the the" (as opposed to The The).
- "accomodation" ([6], [7], [8])
- "aquire" ([9], [10])
As you may imagine, Sam Hocevar is my hero...
To-do
- Square the circle of LDS preferences and stylistic objections with regard to "The" Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. (What have I let myself in for?)
- Expand constraint satisfaction problem and related topics.
- Expand HeroQuest (role-playing game) and Gloranthan material.
- Dumbarton, Dumbarton Rock, Dumbarton Castle, Dumbarton F.C.
- Sean Kelly

This is probably being a little harsh on my French, which is merely mediocre and very rusty, and kind to my Latin and German, which are Certified Atrocious.
