I joined Wikipedia in October 2005 and was mostly a WikiGnome until March 2012. In addition to the ongoing projects below, I browse articles at random for areas of improvement. I guess you could call me a WikiJanitor.

Ongoing Projects

Adding the repertoire of pitches thrown by MLB pitchers using PITCHf/x

To date I have added the pitch repertoires of over 160 active pitchers from all 30 teams, as well as a few retired ones. I rely primarily on Brooks Baseball to arrive at the relevant data, although occasionally that site will conflict with the findings of other sites, such as FanGraphs. I resolve such conflicts by inferring and by using search engines to gather any additional information. I find that Brooks Baseball is usually the most accurate site. I am open to suggestions, both substantive and stylistic, about this project.

Removing vandalism from Wikipedia

Most often this involves lurking the recent changes page and checking edits by unregistered users.

Also a spoil sport for comical entries
