Focus

Usually I'll edit pages that I was reading for my information anyway, and decided it needed some cleanup.

• Topical focus: Main areas of focus are Mathematics, Science (Computer science and physics usually), Education, Current events, Business, Government, Pop culture, Economics, and Politics.
• Cleanup: I generally try to improve an article's prose and correct spelling, grammar, etc.
• Citation: I'll add ^{{{citation needed}}} to anything that seems contentious and doesn't have a citation.
• Persondata: I'm also putting Persondata metadata wherever I find people pages that don't have them.
• Patrolling: I frequently look at Recent Changes, especially at New Pages. See Wikipedia:Recent changes patrol for more information.

Working on

• Drafts for main articles.
• Topic: Politics
  • Bush v. Gore - for such a controversial issue, this is well-balanced article, I think it can reach FA status
• Topic: Economics
  • Making diagrams to illustrate various microeconomic concepts. See my economics diagram gallery.
    • Replacing old PNGs or JPEGs with standardized SVGs.
    • Ex. Deadweight loss, consumer surplus, producer surplus, supply and demand, Edgeworth box, contract curve, monopsony, price ceiling, monopoly, indifference curve

Completed

• Completed Drafts for main articles.
• Gallery of completed images and diagrams.
• Personal templates - Probably not very useful for people other than me.
• Topic: Mathematics, Science or Computer Science
  • Network diagram
    • Complete rewrite, existing version seems to be hodgepodge of text copied from various places, and doesn't read like an enyclopedia article at all - see my draft.
    • New diagram
  • PID controller
    • Created and submitted new diagram of the feedback loop: Image:Pid-feedback-nct-int-correct.png
• Topic: Politics or Government
  • Congressional Gold Medal of Honor
    • All confirmed existing articles regarding recipients of the Gold Medal have been categorized as Category:Congressional Gold Medal recipients. Edit summary is cat cgmr.
• Topic: Pop culture
  • MTV Asia Awards and all of its award subarticles
    • Moved misnamed award articles. Namely, award articles should be named MTV Asia Award for award name since there are many unrelated definitions of, say, favorite pop artist or favorite female artist. Movements have edit summary of see Talk:MTV Asia Award. All improper redirects have been deleted.
