 * Currently in a state of reduced productivity until Internet access improves - I can read the Wiki, but can't post updates consistently. Blame Google WiFi.

Physicist by training, engineer by profession, my current focus is to look at technical articles with which I am familiar and make them more accessible to the average reader (read: wikilinking and occasional rewrites of individual paragraphs for spelling/grammar/consistency's sake).

Current Work
Sometimes I edit things for grammar and spelling. I used to do this more frequency until aforementioned Internet access difficulties.

I also spend a depressingly large amount of time reverting vandalism/POV fancruft to a number of different gaming articles.

Recently I have been editing a number of optics and astrophysics articles (anonymously) and making them more accessible. I've also been gradually updating the List of Stanford University people to reflect graduation dates/degrees.

To Do: Major Updates

 * Robert Bigelow - have some articles on this topic. Just need to write the article.
 * Kankoh-maru - Need to actually read pages I referenced =O)
 * Mortal Kombat - See WikiProject Mortal Kombat
 * One of these days I'm going to turn as many of the bulleted lists as makes sense (particularly Trivia and New to the series) into actual prose...
 * Rewrite character bios, species descriptions as out-of-universe. Failing that, at least writing summaries of character appearance between games, in out-of-universe style.


 * Roughnecks needs some real cleanup. And summaries.
 * Cubesats. If I'm going to be working on them, I probably know enough to add more information about them.
 * Area 88 - this page has improved a lot, but it could still be better.

To Do: Creations

 * Something about Tetsutaka Sugawara. I guess he might be famous enough to justify an article. Need to check for existence of other famous sensei.
 * Pages on Timothy Zahn's Conqueror's Trilogy. The man writes more than just Star Wars, durn it!
 * GRAPE (computer), the so-called GRAvity PipE.

Particular works of which I am proud
I trend towards wikignome behavior (no major articles written or rewritten yet), but there are still some formatting accomplishments which I thought were rather useful:
 * List of Mortal Kombat characters - I reformatted it from a ginormous list to the current tabular form that's much much easier to read and edit (see before and after) - yes, I was responsible for the travesty the latter edit replaced, but I think I deserve some credit for making it pretty =O).
 * List of Stanford University people - article was getting way too unwieldy without additional subcategorization, which I added. Before and after. Currently in the process of updating graduation dates/degrees for alumni (via their Wiki articles), one subsubsection at a time.
