Wikipedia

[low_delta]

I do a lot of editing at Wikipedia. I started there because I was interested in fixing up the Violent Femmes articles, and I've ended up joining the Album Project, so I do a lot of editing to album articles. I don't do much content editing though, since I'm expert on only a few bands, and I'm not that good a writer. Most of my edits are technical stuff, like spelling, grammar, format, links and categorization. Some of the problems I just happen upon, and others I find by checking lists of articles other people have tagged for problems.

Lately (like since last night), I've edited articles on albums by these artists:

Joe Diffie (Country)
Mindy Smith (singer-songwriter)
The Promise Drive (local Georgia band)
Tiziano Ferro (Italian Pop singer)
Governor (R&B artist)
...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead (Indie rock)
Lacuna Coil (Gothic metal)
tim Russ (Actor)
Jason Mraz (singer-songwriter)
Antônio Carlos Jobim (Jazz/Bossa Nova)
