User:Pharos
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I (Pharos) am a Wikipedian who has been active since September 2004. The nom de plume refers to the Pharos of Alexandria, as well as to a local lighthouse and some old library.
My first article was U Thant Island, and I've tried to be helpful since then.

[edit] Maintenance tasks
I was approved as an administrator in March 2005, and in that capacity have mostly been involved in Main Page maintenance.
[edit] WikiProject Sound
I tried to start Wikipedia:Featured sounds awhile back, and it's finally gotten off the ground recently.
To do:
- Find more candidates for Featured sounds (you can help!).
- Revamp Wikipedia:Sound of the day.
- Learn Audacity and GNU LilyPond.
- Recruit field recording hobbyists to Wikipedia.
[edit] WikiProject New York City
I founded and have tried to be active in WikiProject New York City (having faltered somewhat on that latter count).
To do:
- Standardize neighborhood articles.
- Photograph what needs photographing.
- Help with Gowanus Canal.
- Organize activities better.
[edit] Quixotic mission of the week
The featured articles image survey, intended to ensure that every featured article has at least one free content image and that none abuse fair use restrictions.
[edit] Barnstars
