I am spending some time tidying up dates (not bare years), using search and replace. Inevitably a few problems can occur, as search and replace is only moderately smart. To mitigate this I check the diff of each page, and I think I catch most errors. I also try to improve my methods to stop them recurring. If you've caught an error, please either fix it, let me know or (ideally) both. You may have been very quick, I may have missed it, or I may have had some kind of event preventing me checking, regardless I am happy to hear from you.
For a good example see this diff (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Timeline_of_planetary_exploration&diff=0&oldid=13928334) or this one (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Cyprus_dispute&diff=0&oldid=14255586).

I would like to be writing great articles, but actually I'm an inveterate "fixer" of anything that I see that looks wrong - mainly links and copyedits. I have spent some time on GFDL'ing images, and on some specific articles. for example Spaghetti House siege and Pedro Lopez. I have also disambiguated "British", please correct any mistakes you come across. See User:Rich_Farmbrough/Disambig scripts for a tool I use to help with disambiguation.
Planned edits;
- MC Mc Mac Mack
- Sinkov
- Welchman
- Archer
- GCHQ
- Serebriakov
- NFSNet
- Number Field Sieve
- Guthlac pix
- ten sided die pix.
- Lord John Russell disambig
- Balbhadra Kunwar

Been a bit busy to do this, but I have installed my own Media Wiki! Very useful. Have also installed one at work. Born 100th day of the year, April 31.
