'''''"They also serve who only sit and proofread."''''' |

Though lately I haven't been really living up to my motto, as I've also been creating and expanding articles on figures that [[Amnesty International]] considers to be [[prisoners of conscience]]: folks like [[Su Su Nway]], [[Azimzhan Askarov]], [[Nilar Thein]], [[Bertrand Teyou]], and [[Filep Karma]]. It's occasionally tricky to keep these articles [[WP:NPOV|NPOV]] in cases like Askarov's, where the English-language media openly derides his trial and conviction and provides few counterarguments from the [[Kyrgyz]] government. I thus try to keep things as tightly-sourced as possible, but I'm always glad to get help with this, especially if you speak a language like [[Burmese language|Burmese]] or [[Kyrgyz language|Kyrgyz]]. I respect groups like Amnesty International tremendously, but their POV is one of many, and I want the articles on their chosen cases to reflect that. |
|||
I recently completed articles for redlinked [[Homo Homini Award]] winners and [[Gwangju Prize]] winners, and am most of the way through the [[CPJ International Press Freedom Awards]]. I've also signed on to [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Countering systemic bias|WikiProject Countering systemic bias]] and [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Human rights|WikiProject Human rights]]. On 25 January 2012, I finished writing articles for all currently-imprisoned [[prisoners of conscience]] that meet WP's notability guidelines, though of course all it'll take is another big crackdown by Cuba or Zimbabwe to put me behind again. |
|||
Other than that, a few times a week, I cruise Wikipedia with the [[WP:AWB|AutoWikiBrowser]] hunting for typos; I'd estimate that I've corrected 40-50,000 at this point, though of course the software is doing most of that work for me. I also make a lot of redirects for non-English language names that can be variously transliterated, as it seems too common for an [[Arabic]] or [[Belarusian language|Belarusian]] name to not be as linked up as it could. |
|||
I used to be very active at [[WP:DYK|Did you know...]], but gave up after the climate got too hostile; I'm unabashedly a fan of creating new articles to fill gaps in our coverage, and I'm always surprised at how many respected Wikipedians seem to get actively angry about new content. (There's only so many times that you can explain that Wikipedia will always need ''both'' new articles and expansions of existing articles.) The experience almost burnt me out on WP entirely, but after a recent diagnosis of [[chronic fatigue syndrome]] forced me to take leave from teaching for a while, I thought this would be a good way to keep contributing to planetary education. |
|||
==Articles of interest== |
|||
Here're some articles I've created or significantly re-written and am trying to help keep an eye on. It's here to give you a sense of my editing patterns, and me a quick index. |
