Activities on Wikipedia

[edit]

After fiddling around here for a little while I've determined that the best contribution I can bring to the project is as proof reader and editor. I read many Wikipedia entries each day, and so can randomly correct spelling, grammar or formatting oversights or errors, as well as improve style, clarity and readability of entries. In some cases I can also improve the phrasing of information to present a more neutral, useful or accurate presentation. It's not my intention to add many new entries to Wikipedia, except to add stubs for entries that are noticeable by their absence.

If you come across an article that requires major clean-up, or if you create an information dump and want someone to help by tidying and organising the page, you can let me know on my talk page and I'll happily dig in.

WikiProjects

[edit]

WikiProject Doctor Who - as general tidier but also with extensive knowledge on the area, especially on continuity and the Virgin and BBC novels.

WikiProject RPG - as general tidier, but I became involved because of the need to define and develop the scope of the project and protect and grow the pages within this under-represented category.

WikiProject Linguistics and its associated sub-projects, chiefly as an editor, as I read these articles frequently, though I am a qualified linguist (semantician and computer lexicographer) should it come to it.
