Naming conventions[edit]

Working on the notable company list and TV show list, I noticed how inconsistent the naming styles were and worked to get a convention for the two items.

After the conventions were agreed upon, I moved a number of articles (750+) in accordance with the two naming convention.

List of medical terms[edit]

I have compiled four lists of medical terms that can be used as needed on wikipedia. The lists are from copyrighted sources so they cannot be used toto but could be combined for a wikiproject or perhaps a wikimedterms. Leave me a message if you are interested in working with any of these lists. I would work on this, but have been busy with other projects. The list also needs a good deal of prework publishing.

Sources of lists

Vandalism[edit]

I do mostly watchlist vandalism and revert and warn people when they vandalize pages. I think more than the revert, people respond to the message that they have been noticed. Every now and then I will do some RC patrolling.

New articles[edit]

Some I'm proud of, others not so much so, oddly most of the work is not related to Missing Encyclopedic articles

Washington Monument (Baltimore) - nice place to visit, good views of the city
