Endeavors I Hope to Return to Someday

This user is currently working on
clearing old POV disputes.

This user is currently working on
Francis Leroy Henning.

This user is currently working on
literary agent hypothesis.

My areas of interest and expertise range from theoretical mathematics to linguistics to emergency medicine. I am an American. Many of my edits are made when I come here to review a subject and notice mistakes. I also watch articles on a variety of subjects that happen to interest me or that I have edited in the past. Professional obligations have limited my time for Wikipedia in recent years, but I still pop in from time to time.

On your right you can find some userboxes with basic information relevant to my wikipedia activities. If you want to know more about me, I invite you to look at my edit history and form your opinions from that

One of my major contributions to the wiki has been going through backlogged POV dispute tags. The vast majority of these tags were either inappropriately added or the dispute in question ended a long time ago. Unfortunately, new tags are currently being added at a higher rate than old tags are removed. If you want to help, just click here to get a random article from the current backlog. Some general guidelines:

If talk contains no POV discussions, remove the tag.
If talk page contains POV discussions, but they seem to have been resolved by consensus, remove the tag.
If talk page contains unresolved POV discussions, but the discussions have not been updated for several years, remove the tag. If the article still has glaringly obvious problems, consider adding some other suitable tag.
When in doubt, cut the tag! In the event that someone actually still disputes the article, they will simply replace it.

See this page for more guidance on tag removal.

If you feel that one of my tag removals was inappropriate, feel free to replace the tag. If you do, please also contribute to the article talk page explaining what still needs to be done before the tag may be removed. Otherwise expect a talk page message from me requesting clarification.

This task is not glamorous, but if the trend is not reversed the backlog will continue to grow indefinitely.

Update: every article that was tagged as a POV dispute when I began this endeavor 12 years ago has been addressed! Unfortunately, backlog has grown since then from 4 years to 12 years. The trend is not entirely bad, however - the amount of new unresolved disputes per month has fallen from 200-300 to 120 on average. If the backlog can be completely cleared, addressing new disputes will be a manageable task for a team of 2-3 moderately active editors.

Please help!

Happy editing!
