To Do List
- Improve InuYasha enough so that it can be a featured article. (See the featured article objections (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Featured_article_candidates/Archived_nominations&oldid=8509270#InuYasha) for information on what needs to be fixed.) Status: Minor changes made, added an experimental 'animation quality' section. Will continue sporadically. (It's too hard to address too many of the issues at once.)
Implement the consensus decision about the usage of Tetsusaiga vs. Tessaiga.Status: Done, now that searching finally works again.Draw pictures of InuYasha characters in Adobe Illustrator to use for their respective articles.Status: Cancelled in favor of the task below.- Upload DVD screenshots of InuYasha characters to use for their respective articles. Status: In progress. Finished Shippo, Kirara, and Kagome, although I would prefer a happier picture for Kagome. It's hard to find a full body shot though.
- Add citations to InuYasha articles. Status: Unsure if this is necessary, may seek community opinions.
Correct uses of 'comedic relief' and 'comedy relief'. (They should both be 'comic relief'.)Status: Done. Apparently there were not as many of these mistakes as I had thought.Correct uses of 'seiyuu' and 'seiyu'. Both of them should be 'seiyū' in Hepburn. I am also moving articles in Category:Seiyuu to Category:Seiyu.Status: Done. Thank you to Ranma9617 for his help and to anyone else who helped move articles.- Find or draw an artistic rendering of a phoenix to use in that article. Status: I found a picture, but it needs to be cropped.
- Add an original summary to Eragon to replace the book flap summary that is currently there. Status: Not started.
- Expand the Hanyō article, which is only a stub. Status: Having trouble finding reference materials on the subject.
- Add article about Timeline, one of my favorite books. Status: Not started.
- Add article about The Cat Who Came For Christmas, another of my favorite books. Status: Not started.
- Add article about Cleveland Amory, one of my favorite authors. Status: Not started.

- I tend to work mostly on InuYasha articles and other articles related to anime or Japan.
- However, I sometimes do edit other articles that I come across, mostly doing copyediting.
- My first edit as a registered user was on June 27, 2004, although I did make a few anonymous edits before that.
Added Content
- Sōta Higurashi
- Kōga
- The 10th Kingdom
- Probably some others that I forgot.
Standards Crusade
Whenever I browse Wikipedia, I try to correct mistakes in Japan-related articles, especially by:
- Making sure that articles use Hepburn romanization and macrons.
- Adding kanji for Japanese concepts, where appropriate.
- Following the Manual of Style for Japan-related articles.
On the InuYasha page and on related character pages, I have also added kanji for the names of many of the minor characters.
