Wikipedia Meets Real Life

 * I presented a talk at the 2006 Wikimania in Boston titled "Contribution patterns among active Wikipedians: Finding and keeping content creators," and a talk at the 2007 Wikimania in Taipei titled "Have All The Writers Gone: The Diversion, Distraction and Departure of Wiki "Content Creators"＂

Past Major Projects

 * User:Sethant/Colorado - Wikipedia articles for members of the Colorado General Assembly, including GAs for Douglas Bruce, Ellen Roberts, Joe Rice, Dan Gibbs, Don Marostica, and John Kefalas. (2008-2010)
 * Caroline Island - ([[Image:LinkFA-star.png]], 31 July 2006)


 * The Dot Project: creating dot-maps for Rambot U.S. location articles. Since superceded by people who make spiffier maps than I do.
 * Sethbot: a bot creating redirects with U.S. postal abbreviations (so Bolivia, TN redirects to Bolivia, Tennessee, for instance). Hasn't run in a while, but was, in June 2005, on its second pass through the alphabet, somewhere around D.
 * 2005 College of Cardinals: wrote articles for every remaning cardinal elector at the 2005 papal conclave (April 2005)
 * U.S. County Redirects: created redirects and disambiguation pages from "Name County" to "Name County, State," for all U.S. counties. (completed, late March 2004)
 * North Carolina General Assembly: stub bios of all current NCGA members, with pics. (completed, early February 2004)
 * U.S. Executions since 1976: list of all executed prisoners in the U.S. since 1976, by state. (completed, December 2003)

You can use any of my text submissions to Wikipedia freely, with no restrictions. I try to remember to tag all the images I take myself as public domain, but some (like the dot-maps) are adapted from other (more restricted) sources. When in doubt, ask me, and I'll probably tell you it's PD.
