I joined Wikipedia in August 2005. I have edited this many pages, though the vast majority of those have been minor edits.

My main interests are cleanup related functions. In particular, I make most of my edits in these areas:

• Resolving broken redirects (see Special:BrokenRedirects).
• Resolving short pages (see Special:Shortpages).
• Correcting links to the wrong article (ex. Apple vs. Apple Computer).
• Removing vandalism.

I also occassionaly work in the following areas:

• Correcting links to disambiguation pages (see WP:DPL & Wikipedia:Disambiguation pages maintenance).
• Merging duplicate articles (see Category:Articles to be merged & Wikipedia:Proposed mergers).
• Wikifying articles (see Category:Articles that need to be wikified & Wikipedia:Dead-end pages).
• Correcting spelling and grammar errors.

[edit] Incorrect Links

Computer related articles tend to have incorrect links. Often, a contributor will wikify the short form of a company or product name and end up with a link to an article that is not the one they intended. The following list contains subjects where I have found frequent incorrect links:

• Apache (links) instead of Apache HTTP Server.
• Apple (links) instead of Apple Computers.
• Eclipse (links) instead of Eclipse (software).
• Java (links) instead of Java (programming language).
• Oracle (links) instead of Oracle database.
• Python (links) instead of Python (programming language).
• Ruby (links) instead of Ruby (programming language).
• Sun (links) instead of Sun Microsystems.
