Categories I edit frequently
I've been active lately in editing wine information -- often doing things such as moving lists of grapes in the appellation infobox (grape types go under the Varietal= category; volume of grape production goes under the Grape= category, people!). As a fan of both boxing and hockey, I often wind up editing articles in those arenas as well. I also edit random articles that I come across for grammar, spelling, and readability.
