I have so many different opinions about this but it is a topic we will certainly have to consider more and more [].

Some good music that I like to listen to while editing :-- Hungry Ghosts https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8cLacPCIak&t=1031s More good music -- Fresh Aire's Mannheim Steamroller https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u81lqZm9aZg Tangerine Dream's Zeit -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjvF36gzLF8 Sometimes I catch myself trying to believe I have a sophisticated music taste. Then I have to remind myself I have also liked chalga.

Whoops, they nailed me again, be careful or I'll eat you :)



Pages I have worked extensively on, completely reworked (*) or have created (**)


(user page is ugly right now I apologize, I have life to attend to, if you want to waste time fixing it you have my consent)

(very incomplete, I am very lazy at updating this because I prefer to edit wikipedia pages rather than my user page =P) Trimming of list in progress (I also make a fair number of demographic maps from time to time) A number of upcoming projects

Antisemitism in Europe -- EE chart

Antisemitism in the Russian Empire -- working on fixing various issues, expanded the history section, still much work to do.

Linguistics: to-do
Stratum (linguistics) -- massive expansion in lines of the history of the theory, with the debate between the internalists and the followers of Ascoli in the 19th century, etc.

History of French -- expand with info on the theories of G I Ascoli Computational Phonology -- apparently Wikipedia still lacks a page on this. If I get a good chunk of free time for days, I might try to fix this. Historical Phonology -- astonishingly Wikipedia lacks this too. One day I will get my sources together and try to put together a page based on its origins with the Neogrammarians, some of the 20th century disputes between Neogrammarians and the "Diffusionists" like Wang et al, disputes between internalists and proponents of wide-ranging effects of language contact, other controversies, methods including reconstruction, other relevant concepts, and modern day challenges. This is an important topic and if I do a page I hope to do it well so if you are someone with expertise in this area greater than mine please let me know and I would be more than glad to collaborate (given time).

Sino-Tibetan languages

Dispersion theory (phonetics)

Expansion per: Massaliot; Proto-Greek per Filos etc.
