Bias?

I try to write from a neutral point of view, I however have strong views on certain ethical questions. I am

• a secular humanist, materialist, negative atheist, and empirical agnostic;
• a member of Amnesty International and a Green Party; and
• not a biological parent or car user ("No single raindrop believes it is to blame for the flood.").

If these positions make my writing biased, either because I'm not noticing my bias or overcompensating, please tell me.

To do.

Ongoing.

• Update List of ministers of the environment by keeping an eye on the recent changes linked to the list of election results article and elections by country category; and regularly going thru the CIA cabinet members list.

Translation into Afrikaans.

• 2006 GNU FDL. ~1%
• 2006 GPL 3. 0%
• 2007 At least one article linked from each of the . ~0%

Future.

• TestCase X/XYZ
• WikiProject Astronomy picture of the day, making the pages at Wikipedia better than the links used at apod.
