I'm new here, but finding it fascinating and fun to research totally new and random things. I have done a lot of edits on Wikipedia articles, too numerous to bother mentioning here, but the more substantial or interesting ones are below. I typically hit random link and see what shows up, what needs improvement and what is missing that is interesting.
My general philosophy is that:
I have added pictures to a number of articles. Additionally, some of the less major edits that still involved research (not all are included here, just stuff I'm happy with):
Things not filled in enough: Adam Sedgwick * William F. Packer * circumterrestrial space [1] * Ridge-push * Whirlpool * Geneva Convetions (see also Geneva Convention, what is up with that?) * William-Adolphe Bouguereau and individual picture pages * Jet lag (see this Nature Article for some info)
Rasul v. Bush needs information on the decision itself and the reasons behind it.
Things that need a little modernization and zest: Roderick Murchison
New topics to research: Marlboro Man * Cigarette advertising
* butcherbird (linked from Australian Magpie) * Baths of Diocletian
I have begun researching the apparently unsung Laurance Spelman Rockefeller after a random link to one of the other Rockefeller brothers. This is proving to be a more elusive task than I had expected. As soon as the word Rockefeller gets into a search, conspiracy theorists graft themselves onto your Google search like a plague of addled locusts.
