:'''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 [[Stanford University|by training]], engineer [[Lockheed Martin|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. 

==Useful WP links==
*[[WP:MOSHEAD]]
*[[WP:MOSNUM]]
*[[WP:EL]]
*[[WP:AFD#How to list pages for deletion]]
*[[WP:R#Don't fix links to redirects that aren't broken]]
*[[WP:NOT]]
*[[WP:WAF]]
* [[wikt:Appendix:Fighting game terms|Fighting game terms]] on [[Wiktionary]]

==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 [[Wikipedia: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. 
*[[Cubesat]]s. 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!
<br><br>
*[[GRAPE (computer)]], the so-called GRAvity PipE.

==Particular works of which I am proud==
I trend towards [[WP:GNOME|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 [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_Mortal_Kombat_characters&diff=prev&oldid=46149299 before] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_Mortal_Kombat_characters&diff=53986754&oldid=53857943 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. [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_Stanford_University_people&diff=91522752&oldid=91258000 Before] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_Stanford_University_people&diff=next&oldid=91522752 after]. Currently in the process of updating graduation dates/degrees for alumni (via their Wiki articles), one subsubsection at a time.
