• I'm just here to work on an encyclopedia.
• I believe edit summaries are an oft-missed opportunity for communication, and I use them pretty religiously. In fact, I rarely use my rollback privilege, because it leaves uninformative summaries.
• I try to observe a one revert rule, except in obvious cases of repeated vandalism.
• I think references are very important—otherwise, this isn't much of an encyclopedia. I like inline citations.

Rosie the Riveter • Boston Latin School • Netflix Prize • Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo

See my other edit stats.

• Developing Navibot. It finds missing disambiguation entries and adds them to the appropriate page—see below

I'm working on Navibot. It will find disambiguation entries, e.g.:

• Pages of the form foo (bar) that are missing from a foo (disambiguation) page (or a foo page that's in Category:Disambiguation)
• Pages of the form foo (disambiguation) that do not have a disamb link from foo.
• Missing disambiguation pages—that is, there are three or more real articles named foo, foo (bar), etc., but no foo (disambiguation)

I'm also thinking of writing a formatting bot that would do stuff like this:

• Correctly italicize titles in obvious cases, e.g., this Primeval (film) can be corrected to this Primeval (film).
• Clean up non-standard -th, etc., dates, like in Nicolaus von Amsdorf:

He died at Eisenach on May 14th 1565

But see discussion with idiosyncratic editor: User_talk:Johndburger#What_about_the_dates.3F

A "descriptor" bot (terrible name).

• Find bare mentions of people in lists like "Notable graduates" or "Notable residents"
• Formulate short descriptions from the corresponding article, using WP:Persondata and other heuristics
• Add these descriptions to the bare mentions in the list

This approach could also be used when adding entries to disambiguation pages.

• Add main pages to categories where appropriate.
• Putting Boston_Latin_School#Notable_alumni in Category:Boston Latin School alumni
• Expand Human language technology
