Collaborative Projects
Thanks to all those who have subsequently helped to edit and improve these!!
- I've worked with User:Untifler, a classy gentleman-scholar of Tatar extraction, to improve and consolidate articles on Kimek Khanate, Sabirs, Suars, and the Suar Duchy.
Editing
- I've done some editing to a number of articles, including:
- Aimak (a merge of three separate articles each with a different spelling), al-Lat (merge of 2 articles with different spellings), Alans (extensive additions relating to medieval Alania), Attacotti, Balanjar, Basil II, Battle of Thermopylae, Benjamin of Tudela, Burtas, Buwayhid, Chersones, Constantine V, Demiurge, Feodosia, Gerousia, Giovanni di Plano Carpini, Harald III of Norway, Hasan Paksoy, Jesus, Jewish ethnic divisions, Joseph, Karaites, Karakalpak, Kerch, Khagan, Khan (the title, not the angry Star Trek guy), Leo IV, Leonidas I, Manah, Mount Gerizim, Mountain Jews, Obadiah, Photius I of Constantinople, Russian Primary Chronicle, Sabir, Salome Alexandra, Samandar, Sanhedrin, Sarkel, Sea Peoples, Spacing Guild, Sudak, Thelonious Monk,Tmutarakan, and Turkic languages.
- Note: As of June 2005 I have ceased adding new entries to the list of articles I have made minor contributions to. Those interested should see my contributions.
Categories
- I think Categories are an important Wikipedia tool. I've put together the Category:Iranian peoples, Category:Eurasian shamanism and Category:Mongol peoples and grouped them together with Category:Turkic peoples and others under the Category:Eurasian nomads. I also grouped the Samaritan-related articles into the Category:Samaritan culture and history, and articles related to Khazar history and studies under Category:Khazars, Category:Khazar rulers, and Category:Khazar towns.
- Other Categories I have started or substantially expanded:
- Category:Arabian deities, Category:Aramaeans, Category:Baltic deities, Category:Basque and Iberian deities, Category:Bosporan Kingdom, Category:Crimea, Category:Chaldeans, Category:Crimean Goths, Category:Crimean Tatars, Category:Dacian deities, Category:Edom, Category:Elamite deities, Category:Hasmoneans, Category:Herodian dynasty, Category:Hittite deities, Category:Hurrian deities, Category:Illyrian deities, Category:Jewish Encyclopedia images, Category:Khazar generals, Category:Khazar rulers, Category:Khazar titles, Category:Khazar towns, Category:Kipchaks, Category:Mercenaries, Category:Mercenary groups, Category:Moab, Category:Phoenicia, Category:Phoenician colonies, Category:Scythian and Sarmatian deities, Category:Siberian deities, Category:Thracian deities, Category:Urartian deities, and Category:West Semitic deities.

Something as monumental as Wikipedia could only be possible through the efforts of thousands of dedicated editors. For me, it's been a pleasure to work with a number of people on various articles. Check out their user pages, listed here in no particular order:
