These are the articles which I have edited the most frequently

  • Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Comics
  • Wikipedia:Link rot
  • "Integers from zero to nine are spelled out in words." per MOS:NUMERAL
  • "Articles on topics with strong ties to a particular English-speaking country should generally use the date format most commonly used in that nation." per MOS:DATETIES
  • Per MOS:PAGERANGE "page ranges should state the full value of both the beginning and end of the range, separated by an en dash...avoid abbreviated forms such as 1902–11 and 342–9, which are not understood universally, are sometimes ambiguous, and can cause inconsistent metadata to be created in citations."

Watch those wikilinks closely!

I've been trying to fix various wikilinks and I've noticed that some names are linked to the wrong article. Many comic book writers and artists do not yet have a Wikipedia article but someone with the same name does. This results in some humorous mistakes.

One of the funniest errors I've seen on Wikipedia was on the now-deleted Midway City (DC Comics) article. Someone had written, "Assuming the Anglican names Carter and Shiera Hall, they became the museum's new curators". I corrected it to read, "Assuming the anglicised names Carter and Shiera Hall, they became the museum's new curators." The characters anglicised their names - " Anglican" is a religious denomination.

Table of destinations outside Italy (1964–present)

I created this table for the Papal travel article.

The table lists the international trips outside Italy made by the following popes:

The pope is a head of state in his capacity as pontiff of the Holy See and sovereign of Vatican City.

Watch those wikilinks closely!

I've been trying to fix various wikilinks and I've noticed that some names are linked to the wrong article. Many comic book writers and artists do not yet have a Wikipedia article but someone with the same name does. This results in some humorous mistakes.

One of the funniest errors I've seen on Wikipedia was on the now-deleted Midway City (DC Comics) article. Someone had written, "Assuming the Anglican names Carter and Shiera Hall, they became the museum's new curators". I corrected it to read, "Assuming the anglicised names Carter and Shiera Hall, they became the museum's new curators." The characters anglicised their names - " Anglican" is a religious denomination.
