[edit] Current Projects

My primary projects are on these two pages,

• User:DaronDierkes/Stl
• User:DaronDierkes/South Korea

but I also do stuff for Singapore and I try to actively edit Template:Future Developments in Singapore and Template:Developments in Dubai

[edit] Pages Created

I don't really remember everything, this is a partial list and anything dealing with St. Louis or South Korea has been moved to those two subpages. Most of my creations are rather stub-like. I've made a lot of templates about new projects just because such pages do not get updated fast enough and I believe that is because nobody knows about them. So now, if you find one, you may find many and that will help all of them to improve together. Or so I hope.

• Japanese Garden, Singapore
• School of the Arts, Singapore
• Civic District, Singapore
• Iluma
• Marathon Oil Tower
• Marina Boulevard

[edit] Disagreements

1) Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Korean) says that I must write "Sea of Japan (East Sea)" when writing about Korean geography. My "East Sea (Sea of Japan)" preference is apparantly ethnocentric... or so say the Japanese users. Absurd, truly absurd.

2) Top-down-editing from afar. votes held by less than ten people are able to affect hundreds or thousands of articles and an army of bots are mobilized for the effort.

[edit] Deleting Stubs

If a page has only a few sentences, one should add a few more. Add some categories and references. Why delete something for lack of information? Irritates me.

[edit] List of the Day

Subpages	Today's featured list is: Lists of Michigan Wolverines football passing leaders	This month's featured list is: List of countries without armed forces
Home nominees voting/comments orphans templates	Lists of Michigan Wolverines football passing leaders includes lists of Michigan Wolverines football quarterback passing single–game, single–season and career leaders for each of three statistics: yardage, completions and touchdowns. The University of Michigan sports teams are known as the Michigan Wolverines. The men's American football team is one of 22 varsity Michigan sports teams that compete in the National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I and in the Big Ten Conference. (More...)	This is a list of countries without armed forces. The term "country" is used in the sense of independent state; thus, it applies only to sovereign states and not dependencies, whose defense is the responsibility of another country or an army alternative. The term "armed forces" refers to any government-sponsored defense used to further the domestic and foreign policies of their respective government. (More...)
