First, thank you for donating your time to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is an amazing example of what can be done with cooperation and consensus-building.

I concentrate on typos and general fixes and some copyediting and enjoy polishing the fine work of others. I occasionally use WP:AWB to handle a large number of identical typos, but have found that the best work comes from manual editing with a grammar checker such as Grammar Check.

I do not really want to be involved with discussions, planning, decisions, and contentions. I am task-oriented and truly want to do the best job possible. If you have constructive criticism for me or information on how to improve my service to Wikipedia, please give it. I do make mistakes and want to know when I have made them.

My archived awards are here. What have I been up to lately? This.

Pet projects*

Searching odd combinations of words ordinarily not used in order to find typos:

"the have/has/have" (often should be "they have" or a noun is missing)

"a have" (often transposed from "have a", but also other errors)

"the with" (often transposed)

" the to " (finds "to the to the")

" the it " (almost always should be just " it ")

" the was " (missing nouns, typos, dupe phrases)

Botched infinitives ("to began", "to became", "to made", etc)

... and many similar others.

Chipping away at the huge number of "the the" and "the The" errors.
Ongoing corrections to frequent headings such as "References" and "External links".
Correcting both: their -> there and there -> their
Correcting "it's" (contraction) versus "its" (possessive)
