Update merge template usage
I noticed on Bandwagon that the Template:Merge and Template:Mergefrom templates had their usages changed. The APB went out to find all articles using the old template and change them.



Following an idea of User:Oleg Alexandrov I used the WWW::Mediawiki::Client package for perl and wrote some scripts. Seems to be working so far.

Ooops. Now that the run is over, I discovered that I may have committed a no-no by running an authorized bot. I'm sorry if I bogged down the server. I'm done now.

Articles
These are some articles I've worked on a little bit.


 * locally
 * Symplectic vector space
 * Knight Rider

Very minor contributions

 * New England Patriots
 * University of Chicago
 * Thames and Severn Canal
 * much, much more...

In progress
I've finally merged my ramblings on symplectic geometry (except for the etymology) into the main articles.

To do

 * 1) "Finish" symplectic vector space
 * 2) etymology of symplectic
 * 3) Fermat's theorem (stationary points)

Real Soon Now

 * Jimmy Smith discography (see Blue Train (album))
 * Merge AHP into Wikisource
 * Blossom Dearie
 * Wabash and Erie Canal
