Main Projects
Alexwcovington doesn't maintain any strong focus, and does a lot of random editing, but he'll eventually get around to
- North Dakota, its cities, and related topics;
- Manitoba as well, especially Manitoba communities still woefully underdocumented;
- Motorcoach transportation in North America- Trailways Transportation System, Greyhound Lines, etc.
Pages needing attention
Editing style
His Contributions (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Special:Contributions&target=User:Alexwcovington&offset=0&limit=500&hideminor=1) tend to be error-ridden at first and posted before previewed, though lately he has improved. Much of his time is spent monitoring changes to his watchlist, but there are regular bursts of new content. Occasionally he will jump into the midst of a controversial article and attempt to tone down POV (typically to narrow acceptance).
Over the course of his editing, he has become more generally sympathetic to inclusionist views of Wikipedia content. He is rather annoyed with anonymous edits (especially on talk pages).

Miscellanea

Quotables
- "If you don't like it, change it yourself, it's a wiki."
- (to a friend, in jest): "All good plagarists add their own stuff to throw off the teachers. Be sure every sixth word is different."
- "Wiki-politics is odd and definitely lethal. I'm staying out of it."
- "Then again, some points just have to be argued."
- "Well if you're just going to be a slave to appearances, get some designer shackles."
- It's scary just how fast Wikipedia is growing. It's like some alien brain probe sucking up all human knowledge."
